I am currently at a firm in the tax department. I have had enough of 2 tax seasons a year that seem to never end! How do I make the transition to private (Controller, Acctg Director, etc) when all the recruiters I talk to want to only put me out there for public accounting firms in Tax Manager positions?

I don’t think you can really move from doing tax to an accounting controller if you’ve never done a full cycle close.

Ah ok that makes sense. Make your resume in order of skills and not chronological?

I was told this before I joined public. Tax pigeon holes you to tax accounting positions, audit pigeon holes you to financial accounting positions. You may want to look for more entry level positions in financial accounting or see if you can switch to audit for a couple years to show you have experience with financial accounting if you want a financial accounting position like controller or accounting director.

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I've received an offer from LnT (29 LPA), is that good enough to resign now , considering my CCTC is 25.8.

Also, I'm almost 90 pc sure that i may be released within a week of resignation as my project contract has not been renewed and we're in handover phase.

Could you guys please advise me, as to what should be my course of action here? Should I resign and can I get better opportunities in the next 1 month?

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone in FDD is in for the long long haul? I remember in audit everyone would talk about quitting or how they're only going to do audit for a few years to get experience and then leave. I'm not really seeing the same in TS. Just my observation.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
