I am a tax manager now at a smaller firm with over 5 years of tax only experience and looking to pivot out (even if it means a pay cut). I deeply regret having pigeon holed myself into tax. Ideally, I would like to get into more business valuation based roles as I have an interest. Has anybody done this type of pivot from tax later in their career? Does anybody have any advice on how realistic this is or how best to approach? Or am I basically stuck in tax forever at this point?

Agreed with EY1. I know someone who transferred from tax to valuation as a senior. Audit is definitely more common but it has been done.
