Being a student isn’t a job (you pay to be a student not the other way around)

Maybe bookkeeping? It will be hard pressed to find Accounting jobs that don’t require M/E or Q/E close. However, for some companies it is way more manageable than others. For instance, privately held companies have much less crazy closes because of not having to meet SEC deadlines.

Where is this in publicly traded that you work 9-5 except for BD1-4?! That seems wonderful - please share company/role details if you’re willing.

If you get on at a company with resources, the closing deadlines are a piece of cake because the work is done by more people. My last company had over 100 accountants, so I didn't have much responsibility.

Ugh, totally feel you on that. I really don't like how our life has to revolve around close/QE/YE. Honestly, it makes me question my career choice and whether I can see myself doing this decades from now.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
