Looking to switch jobs after tax season. At a smaller local firm, in my third tax season making $74,000 in a MCOL area. Have 4 years bookkeeping experience before that and was in a different line of work before that. I want to stay in tax to develop more of an expertise and increase my salary, also want balance for a young family. There is a top 100 firm in my area that has better pay, and emphasizes being flexible and being open to reduced work in off season. What are your recommendations?

Go for the money. Unless you are hitting big 4, most top 50ish firms are going to target like 55 charge hours per week ish. Plus bigger firms have better technology, research and trainings. That we are family vibe is bs

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC?

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.
