Senior in PA and considering transitioning into industry as I want to gain more provision exposure. Would it be possible to go in as a Senior, or would I have to step down to a staff level as I do not have much provision experience?

It depends on the company. I will say that titles don’t mean as much in industry as they do in PA. I was a senior in PA when I left and took a senior title in industry though it’s more staff work. I don’t have anyone underneath me that I train. However, the pay is like a manager in PA. So I’m getting paid like a manager doing associate work and personally I’m totally cool with that. I know some people who would not be.

The only drawback is that raises in industry are aligned with inflation vs PA where you see higher jumps. But given the current situation, I guess that’s a moot point for now.

Honestly- I think senior. Is fine

Honestly, I’ve never seen “staff” in industry. Every client I’ve worked out have “seniors” but there’s no one below them so they are basically staff.

If you have been a senior in PA for 2+ years, you would want to leave as a manager. Making manager in industry could take a while.

Senior should be fine.

Correct to assume you’re not in big 4? They are always (well maybe not right now) looking for provision people.

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
