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’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).

Hi fishes,

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.

Thanks already!

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know. For example, I get weird international stuff sometimes that not everyone gets (I think maybe? ) and I need to reread the 5471 rules or 8865 rules as I do the returns. I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
