Guys, a query from me - got an offer from a reputed renewable industry company so wanted to know if I'll be going downhill or uphill in my career. Note: Position is in Europe, naturally way better money than India, and its an ex client wanting me to join them. He is keen to get me in.

I left because I was tired of audit work. I wanted to take more ownership over my work and create my own work product.
I was in audit, but said I wanted more knowledge of one company / industry rather than a summary of multiple every year. Also to see how a single business makes changes throughout the year in response to events or results from each month of quarter.
Keep answer about looking for growth and learning new skills/competencies in bank tax accounting. If they extend a written offer that’s when you can ask about the hours and busy periods before accepting or declining.
What I said was, once I became a senior I felt had learned enough about completing audits within multiple industries that I felt ready to move to the next step of my career. What I actually meant was that I hated the longer hours, busy season, being short staffed, and being underpaid
I mean I’ve been honest in my interviews and said work life balance was the biggest factor. I’m leaving because of the hours, so I was to know that I’m leaving for a company that isn’t going to do the same to me. I also mentioned growth and development and all that jazz, but don’t be afraid to be honest.
Yes, because if you don’t say something you’ll be stuck in the same position you were in PA
Are you really leaving PA simply and only because of the hours? That is, if you held everything else constant, but reduced the hours during busy season, then you would be stay?
D1, I think most people would stay in PA if the hours didn’t consume lives. Plus PA is becoming a year round busy season.
