I am in tax, a manager now. I definitely don't hate tax, but always feel like there's something missing in life if I don't try other things...All my experience is in tax, so making a switch is not easy. And I am doing well in my group. I don't know if it's just shiny object syndrome I have and I just need to be patient. Has anyone made a switch (to strategy/teaching/finance/tech) and happy with it?

Similar position and wondering same thing. Thinking about FP&A

I feel the same way as a senior and was thinking making manager would change how I felt. After reading your thoughts, I’m inclined to leave sooner than later lol

Maybe do a rotation?

Incoming tc1 with 60k of student debt. Any suggestions on how to handle this? Are there any part time jobs y’all have gotten to pay off your debts?

I am currently working in Deloitte but have signed a PwC offer. Just realized my current salary after the compensation release is $2k higher than PWC. Before I signed the offer, PWC told me the experienced associate salary can’t be negotiated. What should I do right now? It feels sad to see 2k leave me for no reason. Should I talk to PWC and ask for a raise?
Please help!!

Moving from big 4 firm to big 4 firm. Waiting for my salary and sign on bonus. Do you think it makes sense to ask for the sign on be applied to my salary? Like if offered 75k with 5k sign on then should I just ask for 80k no sign on. I don’t want to loose my bonus if I have stay a year or two. I also know there is a lot of tax coming out of bonuses. Either way it pretty much nets the same tax wise.

Hi Everyone,
I hope life is treating you well.
I recently moved to Ottawa from Louisville, Kentucky, and I am looking for an accounting job in Ontario or Quebec. I have work experience in Tax& Finance and an MBA in Accounting. I was wondering if any of you could refer me for an open position in your company ( after we’ve had a chance to talk, of course) or put me in contact with a member of your hiring team.
Please let me know if any of you would be comfortable doing so.

Thanks,
Sarah
