My group is doing alot of regional coordination for m&a and reorganisations which I feel stuck in as I haven't learnt much substantive tax law...has anyone had this experience and did they switch to something else? E.g. US international tax

My entire group, we do have a separate US tax team but as a regional office it's quite heavy on the compliance side. I recognise I may need to take a step back since I'm already a manager unless I do additional study such as MST or LLM

Trying to understand…you are in M&A, and your projects are coordinating teams in other jurisdictions? So for example, your client is doing post acquisition restructuring of entities in NL and UK, and you are the US team responsible for making sure everyone is coordinated and delivers to the client?

Yes that's correct, another example would be where our client is selling or buying a group of companies with subsidiaries in multiple jurisdictions and I would have to co-ordinate with the various overseas offices as part of the tax DD process.

Hey all,
Im looking to pivot my career from industrial design to product design or product management.
At the moment i manage a team of 5 industrial designers for b2b sustainable fashion and retail interiors. The methodologies and processes are quite similar between physical and digital design so i feel i should not start from a junior position, however my portfolio contains only physical. Did anybody else make a similar career switch? Any advice for switching to product is welcome. Thanks!

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
