I just signed an offer letter for a new role that starts in 2 weeks and I’ve given notice. However, I just heard back from a job I applied to weeks ago and they want to move forward. It’s client side for an industry I’ve dreamed of going into. Should I even consider moving forward if I’m going to have to pull out of the job I already signed for or worse, quit right away after starting? This is assuming I get the job, which is a big if.

Tell the client side opportunity that you’re about a accept an offer in the next 24-48 hours and see what they say. How they respond will be a good indicator if they REALLY want you or if you’re just one of many. If extremely positive, you can back out of your new gig without much fuss. Just need to make the call before day one. If you start then leave shortly thereafter, you’ve officially wasted their time.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
