It's tax. No other signs needed.

The higher up in rank always only looked more miserable, not less... But that seems to be a common theme in public accounting in general, it just seemed the most apparent when I was in tax.

My wife left tax but not because of the career but because of multiple horrible tax teams she was part of soured the whole thing.

Sadly most people are pretty selfish and unless they can gain from the relationship they won’t treat you very well or go the extra mile. It’s sad but true for most areas I’ve worked in. I try to be better but it’s hard because they most often won’t return the favor but it helps build good relationships

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
