2nd year staff in financial services tax compliance, currently looking elsewhere. Had an interview at a smaller public firm (less then 400 employees between 2 offices) for an advisory role doing a wide variety of roles/projects and much more actual accounting. My ultimate goal is to leave Tax but I’m hesitant to leave B4 before senior promo (this October). Any advice? Is it worth staying til senior if I want to leave tax altogether anyway?

I don't think it's worth leaving if senior is a sure thing for you and you aren't totally burnt out. Everyone's situation is different, but if you can stick it out another 6 months you can always bail with the title and +15% on top of your new senior salary. For only 6 months that's a pretty decent deal unless you think you can get more now.

Bail to what though? My skill set is extremely limited being such a niche compliance role

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets).

I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!
