How much of a pay cut would I be looking at if I switch paths from audit/financial accounting over to tax?

3 years of experience in audit
1 year in industry
CPA licensed

Looking to switch to tax but I assume I’ll have to be a tax associate for a while. Current salary is 98k looking at SLC market

Depends on the firm I’d assume around 80-90k

This is reasonable but you may even start as a new senior. If you were to do a rotation at your current firm, you wouldn’t get demoted.

What kind of firm are you looking for? I'm also in SLC and am open to talking more if you want to DM me. I have connections at a few firms, depending on what you're interested in.

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
