Working a job right now for about $150-160K TC, but it’s accounting software sales and has heavy ambiguity in terms of upward mobility (and rarely raises)

Is it crazy to want to go to industry or back to PA for career progression? I’m assuming it would be a major pay cut with 3.5 YOE - maybe scrape $100K TC if I’m lucky?

Yeah you’d take a pay cut.

Sales pays more quicker

What accounting software? If you can come in as manager you could maybe get close to that.

Nope, selling the software only requires functional knowledge
