You totally can get out, but you have to put your foot down and let your mentor/career coach/supervisor know you want to make a switch and slowly transition. If not then you should prob start looking at making a switch in firms. What experience are you looking for?

Have you worked with any tech? You could transition to tax tech then into a more analytical role. DM if interested in exploring options at Deloitte
