Hey all, I’m currently an International Tax Manager at a Big4 firm and exploring other opportunities. I’ve spent the last 6 years in international tax compliance and consulting, but I’m also taking this as a chance to think beyond public accounting. I toured as a guitarist and worked in the music industry in an accounting capacity. I consider myself to be creative, comfortable navigating complex systems, working with clients, and adapting quickly. (Cont in comments)

If anyone knows of any roles or teams hiring where these skills could translate, I’d love to connect. I’m open to ideas and just seeing what’s out there.

Have you started networking yet? Network with those people you have met over the past 6 years of experience. These people are the door you need for your next role. They might know people, and the more you talk to them, the more chances you have.

Ok so I was in a job search support group today and the issue came up about one's aims when job hunting. They tell me it's not about me it's about what the employer wants.

Thing is for me it *IS* about me. The employer is just a vehicle for me to have the lifestyle I want. Why can't we be real about why we want a job? I want to be stimulated by what I do and be paid well. If a job isn't increasing my market value and doesn't pay well I'm gonna wanna to leave. What can I say, I'm a bad actress.
