I switched from salt to m&a at senior. Honestly just work hard. If you know compliance you will be fine. A ton of our job is project management, not technical tax stuff. Also knowing how to move boxes around in PowerPoint is helpful. I studied a ton for my interview then they didn’t ask me one technical tax question lol
