Going on five years working in tax in public accounting. Have my CPA. I mainly have worked in private client services (individuals). Tired of the busy seasons. What sort of exit opportunities are there that have better hours for someone who isn't super experienced with the entity side of tax?

Maybe certain family offices, REITs, private owned investment companies. A slight stretch but a possibility if you’re looking for a way out of public.

Open your own firm or join another firm doing the same thing.

Unless you somehow upskill yourself, I don’t see much of any exit opportunities.

Any other loan officers in here? I'm trying to decide if I should dig in with the current market or look to pivot. I've only been a loan officer since 10/2020. So this is my first rough patch.

My wife makes good money, but I don't want her to carry our finances for long as we are a team. What jobs could I look to pivot to if I pivot? Thanks fishes!

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
