If you're exiting at the senior level there are tons of opportunities for upward mobility and many of them require a combination of public and industry experience, so it is often best to get out of public and start getting those years of industry experience

Any senior accountant job at any company from the smallest to Fortune 50. Assistant controller or fund manager at a small company. Financial analyst at companies that are not picky about the background of their people or who specifically want former accountants. There are consulting jobs and different LOS positions at all the other accounting firms. There are internal audit jobs.

Don't get me wrong, none of the jobs are fun, but they almost always provide better pay and better hours than public accounting audit staff and senior jobs.
