Please if you can help and advise?
I have just joined Amazon Retail as sr Program Manager a month ago. I miss banking/technology now. I have heard that I can move teams. I know it’s too early so I don’t know how to approach this situation and potential HMs. Reaching out to this community to seek help if you have similar roles for which you (or your network) is hiring, would you be able to help? It’s better to be in a relevant role and be best than performing poor in current role. Please help.

Lol I just made a similar post about me trying to get out of tax. I’ve been in tax for the past 6 years (big 4 and industry). I’d recommend trying a related job (internal audit, accounting, etc) outside of public accounting before you pivot into tax.
It really depends on what you want to do. I worked in the public, corporate tax space while at Big 4 so I went to an industry role where my work was basically the same. Large, global public company where I’ve been working in domestic tax within their department.
I’ve heard of people switching within the same firm. You could try raise it with your manager if you’re comfortable with that. You could also network in your firm with people in the practice you want to switch too.
If you change firms, it might be hard to start out as a senior, unless you’re going to a fairly small firm. I don’t know what your current situation is though.
5 years in might be a manager
i switched as a senior and it was a little hard at the time. You’ll have to put more time in outside of work to catch up to the others at the same level. It’s doable though and there’s plenty of resources now. i’ve been happier in tax ever since i made the switch over 15 years ago.
