I’m in M&A tax and want to get out of a tax-specific role, ideally into a CDD role. Already have a non-target MBA (picked it up to fulfill CPA requirements and originally didn’t care about prestige since I figured I’d stay in tax for my career). Not expecting to have tenure transfer over. When I post in the consulting bowl looking for referrals, people act as if I’m flipping burgers at Wendy’s. Any advice on making this switch/have you seen someone go from a TDD to CDD role?

Having worked with the Internal CDD team in deals (I’m in TAS), the junior folks are nothing but gate keepers and email traffic cops. So it’s likely not about ability .. just got to network your way in. Or apply externally to those roles.

Unfortunately that’s been my experience with them. Appreciate the input

May have better opportunity transitioning to FDD. Unless it’s basically straight out of college it’s tough to do without prior experience

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC
