Today I just learned that I got two offers and I’m seeking advice of what to go for. Both offers will be for entry level positions. The first position is an auditor position for a CPA firm which focuses on govt entities. It will be a fixed salary at around $53-55k per year. In my interview she warned me that this will require a lot of OT.

The second position is a communications company where you report to an Assistant Controller who is a CPA. I would be responsible for the monthly general ledger close, balance sheet & income statement analysis, balance sheet, income statement and cash flows presentation, and managerial EBITDA preparation. This will pay around $22 per hour. For the most part, this position will not have much overtime so I’m will have great work life balance.

I guess my main question is being an auditor for govt entities a good experience to ultimately land a position as an audit manager, CFO or controller down the road? Is it worth the long grueling hours? Or can I ultimately land a similar position with the second job? It offers great work/life balance and I’m consider this because of it.

I appreciate your guys’ help. Thanks!
