I’m about to be promoted to senior at a regional tax firm and I hate it. What exit ops do I have? Did I shoot myself in the foot?

My rec? Wait for the title and leave. Your resume will look better with that senior title. You are not shooting yourself in the foot, you are still early in your career.

Your options:

Another public firm

Industry tax

Government (state tax authority or IRS)

Pivot out of tax altogether.

I just got promoted to senior and am leaving for an accounting position at a real estate company. You may have to try slightly harder to get out of tax but the opportunities are for sure there.

Does a promotion shoot yourself in the foot? No. Just get the promo and any bonus then try to go to a national firm if you want more experience / better career trajectory or to industry if you want to slow down / grown in-house.

What type of tax are you in, a specialty area or generalist everything? Can be hard to get out of your tax to a non tax role . Easier at lower levels. With job market hot should be able to find something but need to do a lot of searching

Come to pwc. I can refer you. DM me if interested
