I was a big 4 tax senior. Doing accounting in industry now (insurance). Salary increased 20%.

Nope no insurance industry exposure at all. The move didn’t feel hard. They trusted I could pick things up quickly and I did. I got 2 other offers and none of them was what I did at big 4. Maybe coz it was 2 years ago when the market was good. But also the big 4 experience speaks a lot on the resume. Trust in yourself!

I’m struggling with the same thing!

I switched from M&A Tax > FDD. I did take a pay cut and title downgrade though.

Very different. Depending on the firm, for M&A Tax you can potentially work on both diligence and structuring. Outside of the general understanding of the deal process and report writing skills, nothing much really carries over.

I’m about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon. However, I’ve been annoyed with their way of running the business and getting between me and my earnings far too long; and I received a lucrative offer to go in-house. I’m not looking forward to their reaction and feel bad about them having to take over my docket when everyone’s very busy. Any tips?
