Is it difficult to get back into public (tax) if pivoting to a diff role for a few years? May have an offer for something that won’t use my tax knowledge and not much accounting. But if it sucks, is it hard to go back if it’s been a few years?

Run while you can.

I boomeranged back into tax after 2 years in industry. It's was an easier transition than I expected. I'd take the opportunity if you think it could be interesting. You will have public tax accounting roles to jump back into if you don't like it.

Hi experienced folks need your suggestions:
I am in a functional role where I need to work mostly on ppt, finding insights and a lil bit of cognos, SQL and python.
I have knowledge of data engineering and ml as well but not used in my role.
The most important factor is I am saving more than 2 lakhs pm in the role as it's onsite. Do you recommend to search for opportunities or continue in the functional role?

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
