Hi all. I've been with state government for about 15 years as a sales/use tax and property tax auditor. Thinking about leaving to go outside of government. I'm having trouble deciding whether to try to find a sales tax/property tax position in public accounting vs industry and thought I would get opinions from you all. Also, any position I potentially seek would prob have to be remote, as I live in a small town that does not have many local opportunities. Thanks in advance.

You could also pivot to consulting

My team (industry) had a role for sales and property tax analyst, and the person we hired was remote. I’d say you’re more likely to get a fully remote role in industry than in public, especially with their mandatory RTO.

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
