Currently in a niche area of indirect tax at EY and looking to get a broader accounting experience. I’ve been interviewing in industry but most places aren’t fond of taking me due to the niche experience. I have a small 10 person office that seems very interested and does interesting work. I’m scared of jumping to something so small. Similar pay and benefits as EY, and nearby (EY is far). What would y’all do? I can’t decide.

What level are you? If you are a staff or senior, you can easily network your way into another sub service line within the same office. Once you get some provision and compliance experience on your resume, you will be a lot more marketable.

What level are you in? My company is hiring an indirect tax Senior. Dm me if interested. Position is remote

What’s your area of expertise?

It depends on your level of experience but I would say if you are manager or below, you might want to see if you could transfer internally to another general tax group or do a rotation with EY or another big 4 or large accounting firm. With a very small office, it could be a good fit but think about what your longer term goals are. Since you expressed concern about being in a niche area, it could limit your options even further down the road. If your goal is broader exposure/experience and maybe going into industry eventually, looking at broadening experience internally or at another big4 is probably a safer option (not saying this is the right choice for you but generally).
