Hi, I'm leaving Citi in 2 months.It's hard to make this decision. I have an offer from a small startup.In citi, my previous experience was not considered and was reskilled to different tech which is the reason for change.I don't like to exit citi. As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?
Microsoft is hiring an account executive and I’m really interested in the role. I have B2B sales experience in a different industry, but my skills include lead generation, prospecting, account management, negotiating, etc (all within the C Suite and other decision makers).
Would appreciate knowing if this is something I have a shot at with no tech sales experience and what I could expect for promotional opportunities and compensation.
Thanks for the help!

This is not how it works, and a jack of all trades in all those subjects generally will not be useful, unless you have photographic memory plus a supercomputer brain. Pick a general area (e.g., federal) and be a generalist there (e.g., not a spin-off specialist or controversy specialist). I started with federal and am probably as broad as one can be, but still I handle IRS audits up to the appeal stage (i.e., no litigation for me), international tax planning up to the actual GILTI/FDII calcs or local-country tax issues (need to rely on specialists), tax credits until having to argue with local governments (need a local team with connections), etc. As to law firm, pick one with a top tax dept, not one with the broadest -- I rely on the former, rarely on the latter.
I feel like SALT and T&E is usually not a part of most biglaw practices. SALT seems to be a part of lower ranked firms or more regional ones. Not sure why, probably just because their clientele is more local and aren’t farming that out to big 4 accounting firms? T&E is sufficiently different that it seems to be its own practice area at firms. Also many don’t have controversy practices but some do.
Good firms won't do T&E with fed tax and SALT. FWIW fed tax is so broad, you likely aren't getting exposed to full breadth if you are somewhere that's doing SALT as well. I was at a V50 firm as a tax associate where I did fed tax and SALT, but really I ended up being weak on US International tax and certain other areas that I had to learn elsewhere.
MoFo might be a good happy medium with their SALT and sophisticated fed tax work.
Probably going to go middle market if you want that kind of experience. Though you are likely going to have to pick either the transactional side, litigation side, or T&E. I haven’t run across anyone in my 15 years who crosses over those general lines.
Eversheds has a pretty broad tax practice across fed/intl and salt. Not sure if they do t&e.
Morgan Lewis? I also get pinged by recruiters regarding their SALT practice. I believe Venable has a broad practice as well … I had an OCI callback with them many moons ago.
