Yes. You probably won’t get in-house tax counsel jobs from Big 4.

I’ve noticed a lot of in-house tax counsel jobs require CPAs / accounting backgrounds, which aren’t super common for law firm tax attorneys.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
