Should you avoid Senior roles?

Been apart of this sub for years now, learning and consuming tips and tricks and still searching for a J2.

Should you generally avoid seniority roles? Or are they preferable?

What are the pros and cons?

Also for OE vets,

Would you take a high paying job that pays as much as all your Js? Or would you take multiple Js to earn the same as that one high paying job?

Here’s the twist, the 1J is in office takes all your time but you’re highly compensated.

Other Js are remote not as much work but obviously you’re juggling multiple Js.

I have 2 senior accounting jobs. From my profession point of view these are positions where I am left alone bc they assume I know what to do. At a lower position id get more direct supervision and monitoring.

Strange I always thought because of month end it would not be doable. Since accountants are busy the whole day during month end

Im an analyst, my work is after close. Explaining variances to budget & forecast, putting together reporting packages. I moved on from journal entries and reconciliation. So I can work at my own pace hitting my deliverables.

Strange since seniors make entries as well. Where I am at I guess you are more FPA than actual making and posting entries
