New director in the accounting advisory / deals group and beginning to consider exit opportunities as I don’t want to pursue partner. I’m interested in what people think about pros / cons of public company vs. private, assistant controller vs. financial reporting and/or technical accounting director, large company (2B in revenue or above) vs smaller. Also interested in growth paths (should I shoot for corporate controller one day or something else?) Any perspectives are much appreciated!
