Do any of the Big 4 offer contract jobs/any type of positions where I could just do FDD work but not be client facing? I don’t mind the data crunching and report writing, but not interested in the client relationship aspect of the job, leading mgmt meetings, buyer calls, etc. Would rather just do the type of work that offshore teams do even if that means taking a pay cut. I have no interest in doing this long-term and just need something to make $ while I figure out what I want to do.

Offer to move to the offshore country and join the team. I’m sure they’d love the help, and you’d get a Management position there relatively quickly (and still avoid client facing tasks).

Move in the deal analytics team, could also learn some new data tools that will be useful later on

IME at Deloitte Deals Analytics is client facing like FDD. From what I have seen it is similar at most firms because when we have questions on what analysis was done by sell side advisors they'll have to bring someone who did the work to meetings. On the buy side we are in calls because we are best positioned to ask the right questions for our own work stream.

Second manager 1s opinion. Do to a Deals analytics team

They’re still client facing

If all you want to do is put process data, why limit yourself to the B4?

Offer up your services to the highest bidder.

True, wouldn’t be opposed to that either

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
