Finishing up my master’s at the end of the year after working in consulting and corporate america for a few years. I’m unsure what I want to do next but I’m not sure how much longer I can stay in corporate environments - I just hate the bullshit and want to do some work that’s more meaningful and has more impact. Love music, psychology, and behavioral analyses but idek where to begin if I want to try and break into that type of work. Master’s in CS, bachelors in business… any ideas? Or advice?

I feel you, I think start ups or smaller companies would probably solve for this.

I have my MS in Applied Economics, then went to work in consulting for over 5 years. I totally feel you on this. Corporate environments really do suck the soul out of you and destroy your will to live and work normally. It’s all brainwashed BS. I just changed industries to truck fleet operations and operational efficiency and it’s so hands on. It’s been a blast so far working with real people again, shaking hands, doing business and getting real things done. You’re not alone in thinking this way and I hope you find an environment that welcomes you.

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

I’m interviewing with another firm next week. Has anyone made a switch like that before? How did you do it? I work in a small criminal firm now. Interview is with a same size/practice area firm.

Has anyone gone from a complex litigation practice like Construction and/or Government Contracts to a more general civil lit practice (PI, family, etc.)? I'm highly debating making the switch as I feel like these massive complex construction cases aren't really getting me enough solid litigation experience. I rarely, if ever, see the inside of a courthouse, and am generally just bored. If anyone has made the switch I'd love to hear your thoughts.
