How does one break into industry from Public Accounting tax? I'm a CPA and a tax senior in PA doing private client service (think HNWI, trust, gift, estate, etc). Long brutal tax seasons, unrealistic expectations, and toxic management. I've gotten interviews here and there, but it has led nowhere because I don't have any actual GL accounting experience. Can anyone share their experiences on how they pivoted?
