Take the time, you’ll never regret it. If I needed someone with your expertise, you’re the person with enough self awareness that I’d want to hire. Take care of yourself/your family.
In this job market I wouldn’t quit with no backup. I’ve got the same experience in a different metro and have been looking for industry roles since last November with no dice. Plenty of interviews but nothing landing
At least just coast until you get fired for you find a new job. Take the severance.
I think it depends what kind of role you are looking for next. Happy to chat if you are still looking for an advisory type role in the future!
Right now you could likely land a technical accounting/financial reporting manager role in industry, or move laterally to a smaller advisory practice. $140k to $160k salary is likely, industry roles will be on the lower end and advisory jobs on the higher end. If you’re in CMAAS right now, you’re likely taking a pay cut to leave. Given the job market now, I think you’d have a much tougher time landing one of these jobs with a 6 month gap on your resume compared to job hunting while still employed.
I left as an M1 but started interviewing as an S3.
Only got one offer. I made it through the final round of interviews at maybe 10 to 12 companies. Another big lesson I learned is that companies want a big 4 background with industry seasoning. Don’t know if this a recent shift, but no one seems to want to hire someone fresh out of big 4. A lot of these jobs that I didn’t get after multiple rounds ending up going to someone already in industry.
But I mean I was picky and I withdrew a lot of applications from companies that were lowballing on comp or had poor WLB/culture or wasn’t transparent on hybrid/remote policies. I admittedly was only going after the more desirable technical accounting/financial reporting manager roles out there.
If you’re not picky about comp or 5 days in office or staying in public accounting, it won’t take you a year especially if you don’t take the 6 month break.
you can't take a leave of absence ?
