Did you enjoy intermediate accounting in college? If yes, consider getting yourself aligned with income tax provision work. There's more of the Debits and Credits and "accounting" than "traditional technical tax" work (although there is still going to be technical tax issues popping up all the time you won't be a 10-key monkey entering numbers into tax return software).

OP - if you are at 300 Madison; my powers don’t work there. I am an EY ITS Principal and you are a PwC Tax Senior. I have tried many times to tell your tax partners to do things but it falls on deaf ears. I would be very happy to talk to you about coming to EY in a different group

OP - Are you looking to leave public accounting altogether or transfer to a different group within your firm?

Find a job in industry maybe ?

@EY 6. - I would do either or, I find it very hard to get out of tax m, even to transfer internally

OP - what office are you in? I am an ITS Principal. I may be able to help you get out of tax if that is what you want
