No truer words written. Pigeonholed.

Some folks at PwC went to MBA or data programs and eventually got out of tax. There is no easy way. You have to invest.

The vast majority of the inventory in tax jobs is more public accounting unfortunately, BUT if you have provision experience then perhaps you could move to a manager level role in the tax department of a C Corp if you can find this sort of spot

Should you discuss salary range with an internal company recruiter prior to setting up an interview? With external recruiters it’s pretty easy to talk about the expected range. I am trying to avoid wasting all of our time if i get to the last interview and they are expecting a salary that is too low for me.
