As a tax professional, it’s hard for people outside of Accounting to realize that we have data analytical skills. Having a certification or degree would help, if you’re into that. But I say leverage your resume, make sure you understand the language and technology used in those roles, and work with a Recruiter to get you in the door.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
