For those who’ve done tax work for PE/HF clients, what kind of exit opps did you see down the line? I’m currently in public accounting and considering staying in the space, but wondering if it’s too niche and could limit options later on. If that’s the case, are there other tax groups that are still technical/specialized but open up more doors long term?

Better to switch to audit if looking for the best exit opportunities. Exit opps will be limited to investment companies and maybe some family offices.
