Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Offer 1- accounting/ Ops focused, solely focused on revenue/AR/unearned (repetitive and boring), could lead to an operational role but generally outcast as accountant

Offer 2 - internal audit, enterprise wide and cross functional exposure, testing will be financial and system based so bit of variety, have seen people exit to D/VP fin roles due to the exposure

Internal audit is where people go to die just FYI

Offer 2 seems boring, I’d pick 1

They both sound boring

I used to have the exact job as offer #1. It was interesting but still repetitive. Not a bad gig though. The nature of the company kept it interesting.

#2 has serious potential depending on the company. If #2 is a company that has a formal pipeline to the business and treats it as a development program for future leadership then I'd seriously consider taking #2 over #1.

However, if #2 doesn't have formal internal exit ops then I'd drop #2. Many IA groups try to get their new hires up and out within 2-3 years to go work with a team in the business.

Do you need to leave for only these offers ?
