Will taking a job at a bank pigeonhole me into that industry?

I have an offer for a financial reporting manager role at a bank. I come from mostly a tech background.
The comp and distance from my house are way better. I am currently commuting 1.5 each way fully on site lol. (The offer is hybrid)

Will I be stuck in FS if I take the job and stay there for a few years? (That’s what I always hear about FS roles)

Might develop skill set specific to FS, but FS is also a great, lucrative industry to be in! What’s the hesitation? If you join and hate the industry, just leave after a year and find something else

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
