Would like some feedback on when the best time to move to industry is. Currently in B4 audit, but considering a transition into a finance role in industry. A recruiter reached out about an opportunity and it seems intriguing. Does it make sense to move as an S3?

What kind of finance role? Need more details and context

You’re close enough to manager that you might as well wait. The title thing will impact the offers you get.

Will just make it harder to leave and narrow the roles that you’re a fit for. Especially once the pay gap narrows and you start to think is it worth it?

I don't think you're gonna get a job and finance as a manager unless you've been working on those types of projects at the big four. Some of these roles are not real finance. They're like you're going to be analyzing something and it has nothing to do with finance.
