I’m a tax senior 1 (will be a senior 2 in October) and just got an offer with a 26% raise at a large public company on their provision team. There’s also an aspect of FP&A and helping with transactions so not strictly tax. All seems super interesting and the team seems great. I really like my EY team and my counselor has talked to me about an early manager promo next year but have never intended to be a PA lifer. Any reason I shouldn’t take it?

It sounds like a great opportunity to be honest. Yes, it would be a new role, but you might learn a lot. Frankly, when looking at a new job, the first two questions you should ask are 1) do I like the team, and 2) will I learn more here than my current role.

In the current situation, early promotes seem unlikely no matter what your counselor is saying. It’s not their fault, it’s just a matter of the environment.

I recommend you take the job.

Not to discount the opportunity here, but early promotes are definitely happening for a lot of people in mid tier firms. Its much cheaper to promote people right now and it might help retain people.

Take it since pay isn’t increasing much or at all in the coming years. When we do get raises it wouldn’t help us “catch up” the pay we would have gotten.

You wouldn’t have interviewed if you weren’t interested. Seems to be great offer so take it,

Take it now

Hi OP, do you have a heavy experience in tax provision to get the offer? I am looking for exit opportunities as well. Thanks in advance!
