Has anyone tried to exit State tax into a more tech/ project manager role? If so, what did you do/ how did you do it? I want out of this compliance and accounting hell hole but don’t know how to do it or what my best options for success could be.

Make a name for yourself within your teams for being tech-forward and tech-savvy by implementing automations and such to prove that you have the mindset for it, and then talk to your coach or whatever equivalent you have and discuss potential opportunities to pivot into a tech role within the firm (it helps if you find an internal job opening first before discussion but otherwise your coach can ask around). If you try to look for a tech role outside of your own firm, I'd imagine it would be more difficult unless you can tailor your resume to include a lot of tech related details.

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.)
