Out of curiosity: any public accounting senior managers exit to industry and take a drop in title to manager? What was that like and did it impact your career trajectory?

I wouldn't take an in-house manager role. Based on my experience working with in-house clients, the in-house SMs are similar to the manager at B4 from day to day.

Yeah I can't think of a good reason to take a demotion going from public to in house. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Like a 3 year regression.

I did. I was SM in a very niche group and to go back to being more of a generalist meant I needed to take a step back. I ended up not staying in industry and going back to public as mgr. I made SM three years later.

I disagree. I’ve known a lot of Fortune 500 tax managers they can run circles around public managers. Many companies are flat relative to all the levels in public…less levels. I had one head of tax whose title was Director. I’ve seen some fortune 10” companies where it takes 10 years for a lead analyst role.

I’m a manager in MCOL and would have to take a substantial pay cut to be an industry manager. SM looking to slow down should go with a small local firm.

Depends on the company. Titles are not standard in industry. I have seen companies where manager title was more than senior manager in PA, and other companies where manager title was more like a senior in PA. There is a wide range and usually comp is reflective.

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?
