Didn’t find the 30% pack bump everyone is talking about. And some controller positions require a combined public accounting and corporate experience. Feel it’s really hard to leave as a manager, seems more senior opportunities out there. Any advice?

30% may be unrealistic depending on how much you make currently

Is 30% paybump a requirement? What are you aiming for? There are manager positions out there but typically they want more experience before you get the really good offers.

That’s what I have been seeing. So the usually first job in industry may not be that good? Has to jump again in a couple years?
