Dear Job Doctor,
I am a qualified ACCA for 17 yrs and have been working for an accountancy firm for over 10 years in a tax role. I would like to change job to broaden my experience. I am thinking of moving to industry. Would it be difficult for me to move after all these years or is it better to stick with public practice?
Thanks

Dear Job Doctor,
I previously posted on your forum about 2 years ago. At the time I was not yet ACA qualified and stuck in the assurance division. Fast forward to now, I am now ACA qualified and have moved into the corporate finance (valuations) team at a big 4. I undertook the CFA level 1 exam last year but unfortunately did not pass. I am currently considering my future career paths. What options are available?I have looked at moving into the M&A sector but the hours appear long despite the lure of high payI have also considered pursuing an equity analyst role with a view to becoming a funds manager a fair way down the trackTraditionally where would a big 4 valuations person go? Would it be an easier transition to move into M&A or down the funds path?
Thanks,
Ben
