Hi I have 3 years in pa tax I’m not happy with my current job too many ppl are leaving and I am getting put on too many clients that doesn’t align with my career. I have decided to try finding a better career in industry and having trouble finding proper tax positions and thinking is it better if I move to another sector like accouting or analyst or just stick to tax I like tax but I am willing to try other things

Do you think you would stay in public accounting in a tax role but be happier with a better work life balance at a different firm ? If so, your background is a hot commodity and you’ll find plenty of roles at smaller firms. If you are seeking to transition, you could consider asking a recruiter to help. You could consider moving to a non tax role but would likely need to take a pay cut.

I think it’s really up to you and your market. Most people are dying to get out of tax, so if you actually like it I’d say stick it out because it seems to me like the market is always starving for tax talent in mid-level roles (manager through senior manager/director). It’s not usually a CFO/Controller track, but if you can stomach the work I think you’ll always have descent paying jobs available to you. What types of jobs are you looking for and what types of jobs are you finding? Do the tax opportunities in your market not align with the type of clients you’ve worked on in the past?

Are you me? Ive started to apply and have been getting interviews. Be patient.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
