IMO you should wait until senior. It seems to be in a sweet spot where you’re not new but also not too expensive.

Yes, do provisions. I did the financial services/IM route and all I did was 1065s/k-1s. Took a long time for me to exit as I had no provisions and corporate tax experience. Eventually found a corporate tax position at an F500, but it was much harder and got rejected by many companies due to being focused on partnerships

I would try to move departments if you know your long term industry goal and want to stay in public for a bit. It’s good to have the senior title but I think more well rounded experience would be a plus

This was me last year. HATE REAL ESTATE. I'm assuming you're DSG? Just ask to get out! They'll do it for you.

That's the whole purpose of DSG. Diversifying. Your office is tricking you.

Started at EY in DSG as well. Also hated my group. My advice is to switch groups now versus staying until senior. Took me going into industry then boomeranging back to a another big 4 to finally work on the clients and projects I've always wanted.

I will definitely look into switching groups first then, thank you!

If you want out of Tax leave asap do not stay until senior. Tax is very specialized and the longer you stay the harder it is to move out.

Understood thank you for the advice! If I'm looking to go for an industry financial acct job would you recommend just leaving straight for that after I get the few more months experience I need for my cpa then?

Honestly I’d leave straight for that asap if you can get it. The longer you stay in tax the less and less you will see of those roles. They generally only want audit people.

Hmm ok gotcha. I've also done a few years part time work at a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and making financial statements and stuff and a couple months in an audit internship so hopefully those might help my case in applying for fin acct staff roles.

Good luck OP. If you end up doing another year of tax it won't ruin you for financial accounting, it just won't be the most ideal. Work hard, pursue your passion, and get the CPA. You'll do great!

Level staff roles in industry/government once I hit staff 2 and get the CPA experience? Or would I be better off waiting until I hit senior? Thank you for any advice.
