Currently working in international tax at a Big4 and have been siloed to the same client and can’t seem to pivot to other types of work. I’ve voiced this to my manager and am constantly told that I’ll be shifted to other clients, but it never seems to happen. I noticed some other Big4 hiring for the same role and was wondering if anyone has had jumped firms for this reason. I enjoy what I do and working in this type of environment.

Talk to someone other than your manager about it. Your manager is the person most motivated to not let you roll off of their client, so even if they want to help they’re probably at the very least somewhat dragging their feet. Do you have a “coach” or partner mentor or someone else that could help you?

smart

To clarify, I meant counselor when I said manager.

I’m in the same boat as you

Just out of curiosity, have you ever started a new job and thought what the hell am I getting myself into?!?
If it was the wrong fit how long did you grin and bear it? 6 months / 1 year / longer?
Did it get better with time or worse? (For instance just a case of lack of know-how)
If you left did you find securing a new job difficult due to only being there for so little time?

Hi everyone, wanted to come back and talk about the work environment at the Washington Redskins/Football Club -- the Washington Post story was pretty jaw dropping. One troubling angle was the use of NDAs to stifle victims. NDAs have for too long enabled bad behavior to continue, and it's time companies pledged to stop using NDAs in settlements with victims -- the coverup is worse than the bad acts. I think Warren torpedoed Bloomberg's campaign due to his use of NDAs. Thoughts?
