Advise needed! I have been working at EY for almost 2 years now as a Tax staff for their Diversified Staff Group. I realized I don’t want to work in tax at all and want to switch to industry. I am lost as to what are some good options for me to explore. Do you guys have any tips/options for me to look into?

Why do you want to switch to industry? You can explore other opportunities/ service lines within EY. Your career advisor would be the right resource. Set up time to discuss in confidence. I am unclear if you want to exit PA or just tax service line. Nonetheless, all the best.

If you have CPA, you can explore some finance positions. I have one from tax group changing to financial planner position.

Stick it out until at minimum you have 2-3 years. Less than 2 years in public is a frustrating explanation that you’ll be asked to give.

Hi, how did you like/dislike EY Diversified Staff Group? I thought this is a program for internship only. Wondering if it’s only for students…

How are the hours/WLB so far for you? Did all the teams actually provide you decent training?

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school.

I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Sorry if this isn't the right bowl for this question - I've checked a few.
