I just had a senior get a job as a tax policy advisor to a senator. She did a stint at a law firm in between PwC and that job though.

Out of curiosity, how did you go about becoming a JD and ending up in public as a sr tax associate? Did practicing law not appeal/issue passing the bar? Wondering bc I am also considering moving out of public into law school and law profession subsequently

JDs are just more likely to be in specialty tax practices like M&A tax, SALT, or international. But they are doing the same job as someone who goes into those practices straight out of undergrad or an accounting or tax masters program. They might be on a shorter promotion track (1 year to make senior) but otherwise it’s not really a different career path.

I’m up for a promotion at work and I have no idea how much to ask for since it’s not a standard position. Currently I’m a team lead and manage about 8 technicians, my promotion will be to a regional service delivery manager, and I will be managing over 30 in 3 locations. I went from a tier 1 engineer in managed servers to team lead with about a 10k increase in salary.I’m thinking about a 15k increase this time from 65k to 80k. Anybody in managed services have a similar position to compare
