Is it too forward to request to be considered for a Tax Senior position for after this tax season?
I want to go to Human Resources and request this. I’m first generation into the corporate world and I’ve always been tenacious and straightforward, so I don’t want to come off on the wrong foot. I’m even considering going to a Partner and ask in a casual conversation. - 3 year Associate, LCOL, local firm

3 year associate? Yeah, definitely go for it! That is plenty of time at the associate/staff level. If you arent granted the promotion, maybe consider looking for a new employer?

After this tax season ? Maybe reach out to the manager/ partner and let them know your expectations and set some goals that if you can reach them then you can get the promotion

I would’ve tried for senior after two years with the third year being the year I make it

Definitely go for it

First does the local firm recognize titles or have they not promoted you because they don’t think you’re ready? My friend worked at a local firm and they don’t have titles until manager since staff/Senior does the same thing and salary is what matters to them.

If that’s the case and they give you a title bump, don’t expect a significant pay increase if at all.

Who are the decision makers??? Generally they are NOT in hr. Schedule a call with decision makers. Let them know upfront that you like working there and your looking for suggestions:

What type of work should I expect this busy season (prep vs review vs research)

What are areas you should focus on. ( Listen to what they say and be careful with responding. Sometimes what you think are clarifying questions sound like defensive responses LISTEN. Circle back in a separate discussion if you need clarification)

What are the expectations / criteria the firm wants to see b4 promoting someone at your level

Are there special projects or areas that you could help with - technical, recruiting, etc. (don’t ask if you’re not willing to do extra work)

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
