I was thinking of applying to RSM but I think I might have to start at associate level. I am a tax senior where I’m at but it’s a very small firm. I am an EA and have experience with business and individual returns. I was looking at the Fort Lauderdale posting and it had a max of 75k. I currently make 90k at my firm. This is a huge drop for me. Can I ask for more with my experience? Also I am studying for CPA right now.

Definitely try for a senior role. If you really feel like it’s too big a risk you can explain that you’re open to coming in as an experienced associate as long as the compensation makes sense. Perhaps they can work with you in that case; compensation ranges can be quite flexible for new hires. But my advice is if you’re intelligent and can take some risk that you should try to come in at the senior level. The expectations are not that high. It’s way way different than coming in at the manager level

Review is very difficult for anyone honestly. I never understood how somebody off the street who had next to no knowledge about a taxpayer could be expected to perform a competent review of that taxpayer’s tax returns. It’s a little different if it’s YOUR client, but if you’re part of one of those specialty groups…idk man. lol

You can ask for whatever you want. Why not try for a senior spot? I would not take a pay cut unless absolutely necessary.

If you are a tax senior you should apply for tax senior roles. The difference between rsm and your current firm is more than likely volume and the technology.

Hell to the no to the staff position. I did that when I was at EY it was between senior or manager. It was a mistake to choose senior. If you have a good experience with business and individual returns.. you will do just fine at RSM.
