What kind of jobs are people transitioning to from public? I have 5 YOE, CPA in process. I want to move to private for the WLB but the pay discrepancy between public and private is too large, private salaries seem pretty low compared to public for YOE. Curious to hear everyone else’s thoughts and experiences.

Tax manager role in industry is not bad at all. Good pay with stock options and WLB. It is company by company case though, and not easy to get the good one in this economy. But they do exist and you should apply and see how it goes.

You dont look at YOE for private. 5 YOE in public is equal to 10 in private

funny

Yep. It is true that industry requires longer YOE for sure. But if you are already a manager or have a great resume, you could still get the role. It is from my personal experience. So nothing is impossible.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
