Just left for a management consulting company and focus on the accounting aspects of deals. Was around $250 TC as senior manager/director before and am on pace to clear $500 TC this year.

Is this A&M? This is insane comp

Depends on your interest and breadth of exposure in FAAS. I'm currently an Asst. Controller - BI, Finance Transformation, and FP&A. ASC 606 and transformation projects at FAAS def made it a smoother transition

Similar exits but easier to land and max out the comp.

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.)
