I’m considering service line change from state and local tax to general partnership/corp tax in senior year. Have anyone had similar experience? What might be the challenges?

Do it. If your manager doesn’t know you, explain your background and that you might need a little more help on the fed side, but you’ll make up for the inexperience on the state side. No downside that early in your career.

I have been in State and Local almost my whole career. If you want to stay in public I’d tell you to give it more of a chance, but if you think you might like to go to industry go ahead and switch. There are so many more options at industry for someone with a more general background.

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay? The requirements are insane to officially “resign” - draft a motion, pay a fee, send proof of service - I honestly do not know what this nonsense means, I’m not a litigator for a reason. Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?
