Asking help from a recruiter. I have been working in tax for over two decades and am really wanting to translate my skills other than tax to a new job. I have zero desire to work for another PA firm. I have been applying to jobs but no response and consistently have to tailor my resume to each job I apply for. Yesterday I thought I would reach out directly to a recruiting company. However when I went to their website they just want you to search their job openings. Thoughts?

You could consider a corporate tax job and then look for a new internal job after a year or two.

Don’t go through recruiting companies. You should be sure your LinkedIn settings are updated. Tap your network. Something like 85% of job postings aren’t actually real - just federal requirements (assuming you are US based) so it can be really disappointing when you hear nothing or get a rejection letter. Find local professional networks to meet people. Go to religious, professional or community events and create a support network for yourself. Truly, 95% of success is just showing up. Find a power circle and join it.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh
