Opinions and views on transitioning from core tax services into International Tax?

I would love to hear all about the pros and cons of those that did make the jump or are thinking about it.

Hey everyone,I graduated from university in summer 2021 and then moved to a more sales job. I am now going to start a masters degree in strategic marketing and would like to move to product marketing / branding / digital marketing? How can I make this move?

Can I ask for at least similar salary (base salary + bonuses) than my current job? When I look at some of the marketing salaries, it seems extremely low and would hope that my experience/masters would be considered.

Thank you!

Should I get an MBA to get into product? I have zero technical/tech company background but dying to make a transition

Just curious - has anyone tried to resign, and convinced to stay in big law? Wondering whether this ever happens.

Hi all, I really really want to move to an in house role. Just over the firm life completely. I’ve been at one or another of the big 4 l&e shops since 2018. Just wondering if anyone has any pointers or even if it’s possible at my current level? Thank you!

How do you guys use your internal network at your firm to exit into your dream job?
Do partners or sr. Managers help you get introduced or refer to firms that interest you?
How should I go about it?

Hi everyone - just joined and love the great discussions. So I just lateraled to a MM shop from a no name boutique. I was wondering at what point the absolute earliest I can lateral again is? Would love to go to a top BB or boutique for the better buy-side and learning opps. I'm an analyst that graduated in May 2020. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I have a low GPA because an abusive relationship during my schooling that kept me from focusing. I’m clear of that now, but I don’t know how to explain my low GPA going forward.

Hey friends! So I left PwC (risk assurance, did a bit of consulting) about 4 years ago for industry, and have been working in supply chain ever since for a major retailer. Recently, a recruiter from Protiviti reached out to talk to me about open roles in supply chain consulting, and I’m trying to decide if this would be a good move or not. I know it wouldn’t be quite the same as the hours as big 4, but I don’t know enough to be sure if it’s the right fit. Any advice?

I recently left public accounting to join a start up. I don’t have too many connections in this world yet, does anyone have recommendations for either articles, books or other sources of information I could use to get an understanding of the startup world and how I can make the right career choices moving forward. - *I’m on the product manager side*

Thanks in advance!

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I’m an early career Project Manager (3yoe). My position as an Associate Project Manager got elimated 3 weeks ago so now I’m looking for new opportunities. I want to pursue this career because I love and thrive in this work. I’m thinking of getting a certificate, I’m looking at Cornell University’s online certicate then do the PMP. Wondering if anyone has any tips or experience they can share. Is it worth to spend this money?

Going from PR agency to a marketing role in-house, tips and advice pretty please!!!

Does anyone know how to successfully transition from academia clinical research into industry clinical operations? I’m currently at a director level of a large research program in academia and oversee operations. Prior to that I was a clinical research coordinator with extensive trial experience from study startup-close out.

Recently laid off from a top 10 firm in LA after 7 years in PA. I’d been with the firm since college but now not sure whether i want to try and get back to PA or pivot to private or something else. Really trying to figure out my plan but feel so negative towards everything job-related. any suggestions where to begin? I need to find something I semi-enjoy since It’s unlikely I’ll marry a rich husband or win the lottery before my savings runs out.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Partners and Principals: I know we are in uncertain times. Based on what you see in the market and in talking to clients, how bad do you think this will be? What’s a realistic time horizon to recover? Real anecdotes please.

Partners, at B4 I’ve heard that after 10 years you become fully vested in the partnership. What all does that mean with regards to shares / other benefits (vs. say a 9-year partner)? Thanks!

Smallish firm that just merged with another smallish firm. We're switching tax software and about 3/4 of my team is anxious about any change after a couple of roller coaster years full of changes already (pre-merger and unrelated to it.)

Anything you recommend to ease the transition? If it makes a difference for your advice, staff is on the older side. They had buy in on the software and plenty of demos and time to check it out and test it etc. But implementing it is making them anxious
