I feel like I’m not learning anymore. At least not anything I can transfer to industry. All I know is tons of general info and I’m sort of wondering what I should do. Should I go to Big 4 for a year doing M&A tax, do corporate tax at Big 4…. I seriously don’t know. Looking at industry jobs has changed my perspective on my knowledge

If you want to get to a big industry job easily in tax, go to big4 in their general tax group and learn provisions.

agree. M&A tax is less useful in industry. You have to find a highly acquisitive company that for whatever reason doesn’t outsource the transaction work (most do). I’ve found those positions before, but they aren’t easy to find.

What do you think you're lacking?

Experience with corporations my time is split between partnerships, trusts, s corps, c corps, foundations, and individuals. So just about everything under the sun. I’ve never had to do a provision either

I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
