Are there any jobs in tax that are just a normal 9-5 with no overtime? I’m convinced that such a thing does not exist.

There are tax jobs in industry that are 9-5. Maybe not every single day, but better work life balance than public accounting

IRS?

Well those are the scheduled hours and depending on your role they make more than tax compliance folks. Kind of tells you who pays more value for your time 🤷‍♂️.

I work in TP mostly in planning/consulting and we don’t have any WLB. Teams which do TP documentation and other compliance work are better in terms of WLB and they get paid almost the same, not a huge difference. Hoping to leave for industry in a few years.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
