I am currently a 2nd year tax associate at one of the big 4. After spending a year, I realize that tax is not something I would want to do for the rest of my career. I was looking at Tax Tech but I was wondering if this will pigeon hole me more into tax or will it provide me more options to pivot out (tech). What are its exit opportunities? Or should I switch to audit or advisory?

If you want out of tax it doesn’t make sense to stay in any tax role, period.

Most likely not unless you learn programming. Tax tech will not help you with tech consulting as it’s very specific to tax softwares so it won’t help in other tech fields

Interested in this as well

Tax tech could pigeon hole you even more depending on what your role is. If you’re helping guide tax tech strategy and just writing requirements and doing testing then those skills will probably be harder to transfer. If you’re coding/creating the applications then yes you can pivot easily.

What area of tax? Maybe you prefer something more niche like TP rather than the monotonous BS of filling out returns. I wouldn’t rule out Tech as those skills translate to all kinds of positions despite what people are saying here.

Did you do any type of coding while you were at tax tech PwC 1?
