I have just over a year of experience in a national public accounting firm and the workload has definitely taken a toll on me mentally. I'm currently experiencing my second tax season and don't think I can do another year of this. That being said, I do enjoy the work and how much I learn within my current role.

For those who have made the jump to industry early, are you happy with your decision? Am I shooting myself in the foot by leaving PA before I have my CPA and without senior experience?

When the IRS (e.g., a RO/AO/Examiner) calls or writes a letter… How do you verify that it’s really the IRS and not a scam? I’m new to tax law and I’m worried that I’m going to respond to/answer a scam and give away client info (or my own tax preparer info). I don’t think my worry is unfounded due to the tremendous amount of tax/IRS scam out there but it would be nice to hear from some of y’all so that I’m not so worried about it…
