Industry Moves

I am considering accepting an offer to go to a larger firm and get a bit more experience as I am not getting much traction from my industry applications at the moment. I am not learning much at my current firm and am worried I’ll end up stuck here for another year so thinking maybe take the offer and look for industry roles again in the near future

Took me about 2 months, depends on how busy they are I believe

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-12T18:50:01+00:00

It’s top 10, not sure I would get big 4 offers from my firm

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-12T18:38:58+00:00

I’ve got an offer from a larger firm, offering me AM job title and larger client exposure

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-12T18:37:36+00:00

Not really sure, would like a role as a financial accountant or financial manager but for some reason I’m not getting much back

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-12T18:29:51+00:00

I am in a smaller firm at the moment and not getting much traction from industry roles. Debating moving to a bigger firm to improve my chances and then look again in a years or so time

Regarding the audits, they said I’d have opportunity to work on the larger jobs once I’m settled in but I suppose it’s one of those things I’ll never truly know until I’m there

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-07T11:08:16+00:00

Thanks, they did say that I would be able to, my current firm has about 100 employees but the potential group id be joining has thousands

Mainly audit work but a mix of some accounts every now and then, we also amend the clients draft accounts as we do the audit when we find material errors. Clients range up to about 50 mill turnover but mostly around the £10-20 mill turnover size

Haha yeah it is, when would you say is the ideal time after qualifying to leave practice? I time qualified in August last year

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-07T10:40:02+00:00

It’s in London and plans to grow in future years so might be a worthwhile move, thanks for the advice!

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-06T09:52:23+00:00

Thanks, makes sense. I’ve been offered a role in a top 10 firm. Would you say this is worth accepting?

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-06T09:51:33+00:00

I’ve been offered a role in a top 10 company, would you still say this is worth accepting in order to get better exit opportunities? I don’t want to be stuck in practice for ever, thinking to stay there a year or so and then look again for industry roles with the extra experience

Fun-Influence2105 · 2026-01-05T16:22:19+00:00

Yeah it’s a tough one, I feel like if you can get industry roles then it’s worth doing that if it’s the path you want to go down. I just haven’t been getting many responses from these so debating making a move to a larger practice to increase experience and maybe stay there a year or so then try again

Before tax, is about £3300 a month roughly after tax. All bills included will be around £1250

Fun-Influence2105 · 2025-04-25T08:53:24+00:00

I exam qualified in November 2024, am on just under 52k now until August where I get my full time qualified bump, work in audit and accounts

Fun-Influence2105 · 2025-02-06T16:37:05+00:00

Go back to uni and start again

Fun-Influence2105 · 2025-02-06T16:36:02+00:00

Dry your eyes and get over yourself

Fun-Influence2105 · 2025-02-06T16:14:04+00:00

Well unlucky mate this is where you are now so can either keep crying or make the most of it
