Which would be better? The first will def pay better but afraid of being pigeonholed into fund accounting and lack of exit opps.

Finance Manager at a top VC (review accounting work that is outsourced and help finance team as needed)

Senior Financial Analyst (FP&A) at a private SAAS company.

Thank you all in advance!

What level are you currently and if you don’t mind me asking how did you land the senior financial analyst position?

Um not really. I have a background in accounting and I guess having my cpa helps. But imo it’s pretty hard to land finance roles right now in general. Keep pushing though! I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for!

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
