What kind of questions should I expect when interviewing for a Senior SEC Accounting position? I have about 8 years of experience with preparing 10K and 10Q filings. I was on the technical accounting team for most of that time, but I want to pursue an SEC accountant role more for the next step in my career. Just want to be prepared for different questions on this interview!

“Tell me about a time you worked with other stakeholders at your current company?”

“Tell me about a time when you created a new system or process or automation?”

You have 8 years experience and going in as as senior????

I should also clarify it’s a Senior SEC Accountant level III. Next step after that would be director (at this particular company anyway)

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
