I don't really want to ever be a partner, but I don't really know what other options even are, in tax. What exit ops are common for tax people? Just going to smaller public offices or...?

Also not interested in sales. Interviewing for a tax director position in a large privately held company. So done with answering to a dozen different clients and working 80 hour weeks half the year.

I'm just not really into the sale side of things, and I prefer more doing the work to heavy client involvement. I'm not planning on leaving any time soon, just curious about options, but I'm currently a senior. I do general tax, no real specialty yet.

This exact same thought was the reason why I’m abandoning tax all together. Did job search for a month for an industry accountant position, because I just don’t like the idea of getting pigeonholed in tax. Will start my new position in two weeks. Getting the hell out of this tax season nightmare

Depends on your specialty but almost all big companies have a tax dept. I work at a F500 company and our tax dept is pretty robust and full of former PA people. I was formerly in Audit and work in the accounting dept and interact with tax folks pretty regularly. They all seem pretty happy being there.

Why? Not judging, just truly curious to get your POV

Not all PA firms required biz dev. Don’t limit yourself on what’s possible

funny

I honestly like tax. I'm just not sure what to do with it after one too many busy seasons burns me out. How would you even go for industry tax department jobs? How do you find them, how do you prepare for them, etc? I know audit tends to go to former clients, but I don't think that's likely in tax on any clients I've worked on yet, at least.

Yeah, what group are you in and how many years have you been in public?

Same PWC2 going through the same process right bow

Pwc1-what other possibilities? Wouldn't if you make partner you need to bring in new business?

At director and partner levels, biz dev is required in client service. Pwc1 what are you referring to?

At BDO 1, not if there was agreement within the partnership that there are different roles that play to different partner strengths. I haven’t always been at PwC and I’ve seen other alternatives to how the B4 operates. If someone loves tax and not BD, they need to get out and explore to find what will suit them.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
