Hi! I work in transaction tax at a public accounting firm. With all the changes in public accounting right now, I'm questioning if it's time to explore my options outside of public accounting. Other than in-house M&A tax roles, any recommendations for other career paths? I'm worried I've pigeonholed myself with a very niche skill set.

So do you do anything else other than M&A tax?

Nope. I've done M&A tax my whole career.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

I was contacted by Recruitment agency; they created my profile in iBegin; later nothing happened! Now I couldn't apply to any positions in TCS. Can someone advise what to do next? Looking for HELP! My last working day in HCL is 8-April. I work as Scrum Master.

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak. However, I’ve seen her response and mannerisms change (positively) in the presence of parents and siblings which leads me to believe that she is cognizant enough to possible use a communication device. However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?

6th year - over 2000 hours, great review last year, this year they said will not promote me. They will do a mid year review early next year and if still no good, will discuss “transition” plan. HR said I have until next spring. Sounds like I can stay on payroll for another 7-8 months? Is it real? I have a lot of financial obligations so want to know the worst scenario
