Genuine question here: I see “exposure” listed often as a plus in industry job descriptions. Can someone explain to me why I should care about that? Maybe I’m missing something obvious.

I was in core tax in PA. Left to industry where I got “exposure” to international tax work. Then when I left my industry job to go back to PA it was in the international tax SL - which is a higher paid specialty group (with lower charge hour quotas). I don’t have a legal background or graduate degree. I literally wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity if not for that exposure.

Any tips on finding a position like this? I left a great small firm with great clients, where I did international tax full time, to pursue better pay but I’ve struck out with two firms I’ve tried out that advertised themselves as having a bunch of international work but one was a 5471 factory and the other had maybe 3 international clients and had me working on s corps the majority of the time. I’d love to get back to international tax work but starting to feel like I’m being catfished by these firms when they look at my resume just to sell themselves lol.

In the cases I’ve seen, it means exposure to higher level management and being involved in those discussions. As a manager in tax in industry, I sometimes present to the CFO, CEO of my job. A 10+ billion dollar company. That exposure helps your career move along faster than it normally would have.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?
