Fellow tax accountants, if you could start all over again, what career would you choose?

Hi

I want to switch my career in salesforce but not sure where to start it.
I am having total experience of 9 years in sales and client managements...

Request for the suggestion or track path to success in it..

After how many years of experience at ACon level do we got promoted to Consultant?

Does anyone have leads for a recent MPH Epidemiology grad with 0-2 YOE to get into consultant roles in Healthcare/life sciences?

Second question: what sort of work experiences are companies like flatiron and komodo health looking for to work in RWE/heor? I'm not sure how to leverage Epidemiology to get into that space :(

Got a MBB offer as a lateral. End goal is FAANG. Friends at MBB say placements out of their firms into FAANG is as rare as anywhere else. Truth to that statement? Don’t think it’s worth the reset if it’s still nearly impossible either way…TIA

I just put in my two weeks to go to an AM 100 law firm to work in a niche practice area. I've never worked in a firm before. I started of doing compliance (non-attorney role) and then went in-house (acting GC for medium size company got a year). Any advice for someone who never had firm experience? If you went back to a firm what do you think you would have to prepare for? (Besides billiable hours and no life. ) Also, fwiw, I graduate in 2018.

First year associate, out of A3 clerkship. I need to stay at the firm for a year to keep my bonus, which I need to pay my loans, but I'm gonna GTFO the minute the year is up. Even at a nice firm, expectations and WLB are unbearable. How to I make it through the year with my sanity intact?

LMM PE vs. FAANG Product Manager vs. MBB?

Any Amazon product manager here?
I need to understand for my next target here..;)
Can somebody guide?

Let's say I'm a former analytics specialist who left the field several yrs ago for a top 10 MBA and strategy consulting at big 4. How would I parlay this into finding *non-tech* AI/ML/DS roles like strategy or product?

I don't want to use R/SAS/etc daily again, but many places either want me to be a DS/engineer which doesn't suit my interest, or require more recent technical management experience, which I don't have.

My friends and family have been
having trouble finding legitimate
companies that offer remote
customer service jobs. Do you have
any suggestions for entry level roles
for individuals that have 5+years of
experience in medical records, office
administration and customer
service?

I potentially have three opportunities to leave for: a small boutique consulting firm, a larger local area consulting firm, or trek back to industry and really am not sure how to decide. Any advice?

I just turned 50. Now what? What goals did you set for yourself when you turned 50? All ideas welcomed!!!!

How difficult is it for producers to transition from pharma to general consumer?

Say I didn’t want to be in production or advertising anymore. What are some good industries and/or roles to look into that might share some of the same skills I’ve developed over the years? Any ideas?

Had anyone worked as an in-house counsel in a startup and then moved to a law firm or another company? Was wondering how the transition looks like after working in a startup. Will it be hard to find a job in a midsize company later? Thank you!!

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Any advice on how to switch from big 4 to tier 1 consulting firms like BCG and MCK?

Least favorite salesforce product is…? And why would help as well…

I treat my therapy like a video game. Next appointment? Congrats, you just unlocked my level 4 trauma and backstory!!

The come down from drinking is what really made want to do a sober 2022.

Been hearing a lot of people currently doing multiple IT jobs since everyone’s working from home. I don’t know how it’s possible for people working in consulting companies like EY, PwC since we have independence considerations. Any insights?

Anyone already have their HBS interview? Or is anyone prepping for one?

So…is tomorrow the day of judgement? 🤓

Hey everyone. Do you have a good work-life balance in your job?

Booth video question - the two prompts I have to choose from seem more personal than professional? Does anyone else have that impression?

Have any of you considered FIRE? I'm sure some of the partners are young and rich enough to retire. So why not say screw working until 60 and to hell with the pension? Travel the world and live life while I can?

Is it just me or are there entirely too many people in Business Services, specifically TC’s, who are just folks from client service that don’t want to deal with hours and travel anymore but have no formal training in the Business Services function they transition to? It seems to me very few TC’s are professionals in HR with any background, training or certifications in HR.

While scheduling an interview slot for first time H1B stamping, do you enter the receipt number of the original h1b or the approved LCA?

How long does it take to receive the h1b extension approval ? Can I be on paid maternity leave while they file my extension ? Thanks all !

Anyone go from F1 OPT to EB3 or hear of anyone successfully doing so?

Which companies will put you on the L1A? Context; didn’t get selected for H1B and now I’m worried mine will do the L1B or not do L visa at all.

Any T&E associates in here who I could talk to? I’m a transactional tax associate at a v5 firm doing M&A and capital markets work and hating it. I’m a 4th year with an LLM and a clerkship and I think I regret not pursuing T&E or private wealth.

1st year experienced associate. Not crazy about the job and am considering exit opportunities into FP&A. When is it too late/too early to leave? Don’t want to become pigeonholed to accounting. Have no FP&A experience, but a bachelors and masters in accounting along with a CPA.

So countdown is on to last day...what do I need to do before I leave?

Thoughts on transitioning from PA to Law? Before PA my plan was always to get my JD. Things changed and I somehow ended up in audit (not tax). Very unsatisfied with PA, and accounting in general, so I've been thinking of going back and getting my JD.

Would you accept a counter offer from your current employer? Curious if folks have done this in the past and how their experiences were like. Any consequences?

Any remote US roles as Finance Manager? Have Big 4 & Fintech experience.

Looking to leave Big4 after I make manager this summer. I know the consensus is to not tell your team but I have a close relationship with manager and partners. They are planning staffing for next years audit. Should I be transparent or stay quiet? I’ve heard the team will start reducing hours and I might get thrown on crappy clients.

Let’s hear some salary expectations! I could really use some help regarding a offer I received.

Years of experience: 5
Job title: Accounting Manager, focusing on production.
Company Profile: Mature Start-up, ~200 employees
COL: medium to high (think Atlanta, Dallas).

Do any of you in this group have artistic/creative passions? Just curious

What are the options to move out of internal audit? Currently a manager at a bank and want to explore my options as I am not too passionate about audit. Any idea how to get into tech?

Anyone hiring a remote, Full-charge Bookkeeper/Accountant w/3yrs of experience?

Would going from Risk Assurance at a Big 4 accounting firm to a Staff Accountant position in industry be a wise career move? I think the Staff Accountant position would be better suited for my interests and life, but it’s almost as if I’m starting over on a new path after getting a couple of years of experience in Risk Assurance.
