You think you will be an expert in Intela and Cascade, Sightline, Digital Gateway or GTP ( iykyk) at the end of 2 busy seasons. But as you leave for industry it will all be useless. You might be knowledgeable in probably GoRS, and CCh. I never used corptax or OTP for pships so not sure about them.

You sell your soul for money you’ll never be able to enjoy because of insane hours you’ll work. In return you gain skills that are useless outside of public accounting.

My observation is it gets very busy for about 4 months of a year. The rest of time it’s 9-5. Work is stupidly repetitive and you wonder how you need to have a cpa license to do this as monkey can do it too. But it had been steady, stable and financially rewarding. I personally did not like it but pretended that I did. Very bad feeling as not being true to myself.

Exactly. More like busy for 9 months.

It’s been the growth engine of the tax practice for years - private funds are growing still due to the concentration of wealth in the world and private equity and credit cycles I’d say have peaked. Most private funds have outsourced their tax function to the top tier firms and we are a core IR and back office function at this point. At risk for big down cycles but otherwise a steady role. AI is going to commoditize but remains to be seen how well the gets executed.

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?
