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.

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
