I’m looking to jump ship soon (hopefully within the next 6 months). I am a tax associate at a Big 4 atm, but was wondering if anyone has been able to successfully transition to a private sector or corporate accounting position outside of tax?

Yes I have! Ask to be put on more tax provision engagements so you can have that experience on your resume/talk about that during your interviews.

I’m in industry now doing an accounting role. I told HR/interviewers upfront I don’t have accounting experience but have seen tax provisions which fed into the IS/BS and 10k and had participated in control testing/walkthroughs. They understood my limited knowledge but still hired me saying I could learn on the job!

I'm trying to do the same thing, no offers yet but I'm holding out hope. CPA helps though! Try to emphasize accounting research and provision work on the resume as well

I am in process of transitioning to a role that’s tangential to tax - meaning no requirement that I file returns etc.

Let’s see who remembers their MPRE. Just found a position at my dream firm I would like to interview for; however, I was also just placed on a deal where dream firm is the opposite counsel. I don’t want my current firm to know I’m thinking of leaving in case I don’t, so asking for a conflicts waiver doesn’t seem feasible. But the deal won’t close until next year, so I doubt the position will be around if I wait that long. Any advice?
