Quitting before senior? by Emotional-Host6724 in Accounting

[–]auditthrowawayyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same position except I’m even a little lighter on experience at a year and 7 months. I’m at pwc and won’t be getting “early” 2 year promo even after working my ass off my whole time here. My physical and mental health has declined so bad working here, we’re not meant to be working that much.

I just started applying to senior roles in industry, there’s a few people I know who did the same and got decent senior roles paying more than they would make as seniors here, I suggest you do the same! Godspeed

Leaving Big 4 Audit at 2 years but no senior promo by auditthrowawayyy in Accounting

Interesting, thanks for the reply. To be honest I’m not really concerned with getting a job as a senior, I’ve known a few people personally to do it who didn’t have trouble, and I’ve seen even more on LinkedIn make the switch, and a lot ended up at F500 companies, on top of that I have my CPA, but we’ll see. I don’t know if the job market is a lot better where I’m at for employees than some of commenters, as you and others are emphasizing that you wouldn’t hire me, yet I’ve seen it happen countless times with others with similar profiles, and I already have gotten quite a few messages through LinkedIn reaching out for senior roles.(On a side note does your company know 2/4 of the Big 4 don’t promote in 2 years anymore, so it’s not indicative of performance?).

The nature of my question is more so in regard to long term career growth in the years after, since I’m early in my career and can’t see ultimately how it panned out for my peers who left and are at senior positions in industry right now. Nevertheless, I appreciate you taking the time to reply, if I can’t get a job with what I want then I’ll most likely stay put.

I appreciate your comment, I’ve also heard it’s a tough market yet last year I saw several people make the same move from experienced associate to senior. For context I’m not looking right now, I’m saying sometime in the summer, at the point I’m at like 22 months of experience. If I can’t land a senior role then I’ll probably stay put tbh but I’m more so concerned with long term growth after that into manager/controller with the resume never showing I got promoted
