Hello Everyone,

I currently was let go from a Senior SALT (State and Local Tax) position with a large public accounting firm. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what kind of position I could pivot to. I am hoping to find something in private accounting, and it doesn't necessarily need to be a SALT position. I'd like to see if anyone has any advice on where a SALT technical skill set would be useful or easier to transition to. I'm open to continued education and CPA licensure.

I would find a generalist income tax role in industry that does both federal and state, compliance and provision. Focus hard on provision and just broadening your skills and it will open doors.

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
