Great for the quick jumps in rank and 10k

I suspect it's more common because people are boxer into certain practices at their firms and only way to do something else is at another firm

I am a Manager at a big 4 international tax considering switch to M&A Tax in another big 4 or a prestigious firm International Tax group but with more structure work.

As for me, I was heavy on compliance until recent and wanted to focus on getting planning experience and management skills forward. I am a CPA and an attorney, but not a JD.
