But she wouldn't even consider it, because it wasn't accounting. After much encouragement from me she decided to apply and got it. The pay grades for both positions were identical.
Had she resisted and continued to try to obtain her goal, she may have obtained it or not. As it was she was beating her head against a brick wall until she realized she could walk around.
