Anyone went back to public accounting after doing government work? I did 5 years in PA (big4 audit, CPA), but switched over to the IRS and have been here for about 3 years. I'm thinking about doing maybe 2 more years here and I want to see about going back to PA - really miss the caliber of the people I used to work with in PA. Would love to hear what opportunities were available for people who've done something similar. I hear tax controversy groups might work, but would I qualify for it?

You should be able to work in any of the national tax offices with your insight into the IRS.

Oh really? I always believe Federal government jobs like IRS agent will have better benefit than state government jobs. According to what you said here, it id not true though.

Considering the advisory role 1) job security, 2) exit ops, 3) partnership ops. Anyone recently make a similar jump and could share?

Hi fishes,
I'm looking for a switch in career.
I'm bit wondered which one should I choose as a career choice in Salesforce developer and mulesoft developer ?
Can anyone suggest which would be the best?

I have around total of 3.5 YOE but only 6 months experience as a SOC analyst. My previous experience was as a technical analyst (tech support role) . I wish to switch companies as I feel severely underpaid. However would I get any offers with my experience?

I’m hoping someone might have some ideas about this- I’m currently five years out of law school with a clerkship, a tax LLM, 3 years of experience doing transactional tax work and a few months of EC/VC experience (which I recently switched to from tax). I like the EC/VC work, but I don’t know how long I want to stay in biglaw. Can anyone weigh in on how employers for in-house roles might look at my experience in a year or two?

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
