Anyone start in auditing them after a few years decide to 'start over' with tax? I'm thinking about doing that even though I'm a senior. If you did something like that, what made you do it? Any regrets?

I switched over to tax as a senior and it was the best decision ever. I always enjoyed tax and hated audit. It delayed my promotion to manager but I still think it was worth it in the long run. People are generally a lot less miserable in tax and I actually finish work at a normal time outside of busy season

I actually enjoy my work a lot more then I did in audit. I know tax is not for everyone but I actually see myself having a career in tax whether it be in industry or firm whereas I could not see myself doing anything audit related. That is why I think the delay in promotion was still worth it in the long run for me.

Tax has its own set of headaches but the day to day seems better than audit to me. Audit experience opens up more opportunities outside of PA which is something to consider as well. Just depends on what you want to do with your career.

My senior manager switched to tax when he was an audit senior. Pretty sure he hated audit and found himself being interested in auditing the tax stuff so it was a bit smoother for him to switch into corporate tax.

Question for moms. I’m getting married next year and have several close family members that will have babies ages 8-11 months old by then.

I would love for the families to be able to come, as it is out of town.
