I love international tax (in core) and don’t mind compliance at all but it’s been nearly 100% of what I do. Any ways of balancing out with more structuring/planning?

Some background: there’s only 3 of us IT locally and with the departure of our SM, the little structuring/planning work I do see will probably dry up when they leave. Do I network with other bigger offices to pick up that kind of work?

I’m not at Deloitte so won’t be familiar with how your core international group is organized, but is there a group within international that focuses on mergers and acquisitions? If so, maybe you could do a rotation within that group. A rotation with Deloitte’s WNT group might help you get more exposure to international tax planning and restructuring issues. Is there a larger IT group within your business unit that you could network with and collaborate on other work? I think you are correct that it will take some networking.

Talk to your partner and resource manager.

I presume there is a partner covering your market. Connect with that individual and tell them what you would like. Sounds like opportunities will be missed in your market or the planning work will be shifted to a larger office unless you speak up

Turnover is extremely high, as I’m the second longest tenured associate in the office. Looking for some guidance on whether this is the norm or not. Compensation is low 80’s.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
