Has anyone transitioned from partnership tax to another internal group (i.e. consulting)? Was the switch worth it?

Compliance doesn’t interest me like it used to and Partnership tax experience alone really limits exit opportunities.

Is it too late to get experience in another group if you’re already a manager?

What are the exits out of M&A tax? And how many hours do you work a week? Isn’t it tough what kind of life you would have if you don’t know your schedule?

Never too late to switch, it’s more of a question on how much time and effort you will put into the new group/position to get you up to speed if you’re going in as a manager

Which groups can you get into from partnership tax?

Same boat. Talk to your partner and make the switch

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Feel like I missed the boat years back to get into Director of Product role. Back in the day there was only Senior in between a Director role, now there’s Lead and Group levels, so much hierarchy now.
