Had anyone ever joined a job as a subject matter expert but received push back and a lack of support? How did you handle this?

I was brought in house to optimize the tax function, but getting information and feeling connected to accounting (requirement of my job) is like pulling teeth. there’s a lot of potential here to make it a good job but, with the lack of respect I’m getting I’m wondering if it’s worth the headache

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed.

Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily

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.

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role?

Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
