How difficult is it to exit tax after you're a senior? I don't hate tax, but I don't see myself doing this long-term, so trying to figure out the best path forward. I'm currently a second-year in State and Local tax with CPA. Should I wait another year or two, get some experience as a senior and then go into industry? Or would it make more sense to start looking at internal transfer into a different service line (looking at advisory)? Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah like I legit love fed tax as a job and a hobby, but SALT can crash and die and burn. It’s annoying for everyone involved typically, and for fractions of the fed tax %. Big oof, maybe try a rotation in a federal corp tax group first?
