I’m planning to relocate from Seattle to Hawai’i (O’ahu) for family and I’m not hopeful my current position allows me to relocate and be remote because of my current grade level. I have about 2 years of corporate tax experience (1.5 years in PA and 6 months in private), and in the process on taking my CPA. I’m planning to move within 6 months and I don’t plan to leave my current job until then as well. Would there be any remote experienced tax roles I can be referred to? Appreicate any help!

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.
