Anyone able to share their experience going back Public after industry?

I did two seasons in Public at a regional firm doing 98% audit and I hated it, mostly because I spent nearly 3 months living in hotels. I wanted to change things up but everyone told that Tax was awful and I wouldn’t like it, but I passed REG as my last exam last December and I actually liked the tax part. I’ve been in corporate accounting about 6 years now and I’m really regretting not giving Tax a try. Thoughts?

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
