Accounting Exit Opportunities
works at Seiler LLP

I’m a manager in tax and exit ops seem non existent. 9 out of 10 recruiters that reach out to me are contacting me regarding another public accounting firm. But I think I’m getting burnt out from public accounting…

    I think public accounting is more in demand. Also, don’t use recruiters. You can find the same jobs on ur own.

    I’m talking to a couple really great recruiters right now and they’re helping me find jobs outside PA! There definitely are ops out there

    Yes they are out there, but I recommend searching on your own without recruiters. They are out there though

I’m about to decline an offer solely because they refused to put their flexible work-from-home policy in writing in the actual offer letter. During the interviews, the hiring manager promised me that everyone works from home on Mondays and Fridays, but HR refused to add that amendment to the employment contract, stating it's a discretionary policy. To me, if it isn't signed in ink on the contract, it can be deleted by a corporate memo on my second week of employment. Am I being entirely too paranoid?

Offer A is a Senior FP&A Analyst at a Fortune 100 consumer goods brand: $110k base, 10% bonus, good resume brand, but a hybrid 3-day office model and a highly competitive up or out corporate culture. Offer B is a Senior General Accountant at a boring, regional utility company: $105k base, a true federal-style pension, 100% remote, and a team where the median tenure is 14 years. I’m 29, single, and want a career. Which path sets up a better long-term trajectory?

I just had a final-round interview where the corporate controller mentioned that their last three closes ran a bit long into the second week of the month. He tried to spin it as an opportunity for a new hire to build out clean processes, but it sounded like a burning building to me. What are the other subtle, coded phrases hiring managers use during interviews to mask the awfulness of working there?

I am currently staring at an industry offer that is a direct match for my current $105k public salary, but it offers a massive 15% equity grant vesting over three years. The company is a privately held, family-funded logistics firm with zero plans to go public or sell to private equity anytime soon. Am I crazy for viewing this equity as essentially worth $0, or should I try to force them to convert that equity value into guaranteed base salary?

I just watched a coworker accept a $20k raise to stay at a firm we both agreed was toxic. It’s infuriating to see him talk himself into believing it’ll be different this time when we both know the underlying culture is rotting. Has anyone here ever actually stayed at a toxic workplace and had it turn into a positive, long-term move?
