What’s the best path from audit senior to industry accounting manager job? Wait till I make manager at Big 4 and then jump, or jump to an accounting senior position and then onto accounting manager at another place?

Jump at audit senior to a senior accountant role then promotion or leave for manager. A lot of the accounting manager roles I've seen want a mix of public and private experience.

Noticing that as well. But I’m wondering if they prefer to hire someone who has experience as a manager vs giving someone who’s only ever been a senior a chance at manager

Jump from manager audit to manager corp accounting is okay, not as bad as you think, but probably limits to more technical or reporting gigs. Jump from senior corp accountant to manager corp is better IMO, a wider variety of responsibilities, and you’ll feel more comfortable.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
