That’s a really common situation, a lot of veterans are looking for community, support, and a clear path into their next role, and the right groups can make a huge difference. A safe place to start is exploring well-established organizations that offer both volunteer opportunities and career guidance. Groups like Hire Heroes USA, Team RWB, ACP, and FourBlock are known for giving veterans real support, mentorship, and direction.

When I was trying to find the right resources during my own job search, I worked with a job search specialist who helped me stay focused and navigate everything more confidently. If you want guidance or support as you look for your next step, you can reach out to her at carolynchristiehiringteam.gmail.com.

Not sure what type of volunteer work you’re interested in, but if it’s outside work (construction,power tools, heavy equipment machinery)

I would suggest Team Rubicon. They are always looking for volunteers to assist others immediately after a national emergency or a local event nearby.

You’ll be able to make others from all industries and that network may be able to help you find your next pivot.

Why do people in m&a tax make so much more than regular / international? Is the work that much harder / more challenging? It seems like they mostly just coordinate with other teams. Basically like jack of all trades but master of none?

Part of me thinks they can charge higher fees because they’re on a transaction and seen less as a “cost” center. On the sell side they’re helping generate revenue and on the buy side they’re doing the same, although not immediately
