Leverage Sr Accounting role
Somehow, I (47m) landed a Sr Accounting position at a regional residential real estate builder. I have no accounting experience (MS Finance; PhD in Kinesiology (worthless) no accounting nor previous accounting jobs). They're hiring me to eventually take over the Finance Department consisting of an experienced accountant (knows her stuff but doesn't want leadership responsibilities), and two jr accountants neither of whom majored in accounting (BBAs).
My thoughts of accepting the position were:
- I was unemployed for 4 months and this was as close to Finance as I was going to get
- After 2-3 years I was thinking I'd have possible exit opportunities to Finance with some accounting under my belt
The job starts on Monday and now I'm having second thoughts on exit opportunities
From your experience, are there potential exit opportunities?
What can I do over the next 2-3 years to best position for an exit to higher pay, preferably in finance (M&A, AM, Credit)?
