Struggling to get manager interviews. I’ve got 2 YOE in audit B4, 1 year GL experience and now 2.5 YOE in CMAAS. Is a manager role truly out of reach or should I keep pushing?

What’s your current title

Totally fair. I try to highlight my acting manager duties and direct report experience but I can see how if it gets tossed before reading that it’s not going to matter

At the end of the day people can lie about their job duties, acting whatever, but job title can’t be faked in large organizations on background check, so they take your acting manager narrative and discount it to the extreme. Maybe at a small org, you could get a manager title but would actually be senior duties

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA? Hated my time at the F300 but had thought the grass would be greener in industry. I’m starting a financial analyst position at a major hospital system in my area soon and want to stick with that for a couple years before making a transition but was curious if I just don’t have the right experience for a role in advisory.
