I moved from audit to FDD 1 year ago - really dislike my work in FDD. I enjoy client facing work, though, and am interested in potentially trying out tax. Is there any way someone with 0 tax experience could get brought on as a tax senior preferably at B4?

I’m not a B4 person, but it seems unrealistic to come in as a senior with no tax background. Tax is very different than audit and a technical field .

Yes speak to your coach/RL (PwC titles, not sure for other big 4s) and network. You own your own career.

I know some people in audit who would take a 50% pay cut just to pivot to FDD

Yea idk why but for some they were acting like it was do or die for their career

Hello! I noticed some similar questions to the one I am about to ask and I apologize if I am being repetitive but I didn’t see this specifically (I am new so sorry if I am missing it). I am a RN and have been for 15 years. I was looking to transition into health tech but has been a bit more challenging than I expected. So, I have been working on trying to get in as a SDR but I am also taking a course for my PMP certification. Is this of value or should I focus on something else?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
