I did absolutely love it. Feel like I’m doing more analysis and consulting type of work. The cons might be the exit option, not a lot of companies have international tax department, even if they do, the size would be much smaller than federal tax group.

May I ask what’s your background? Does the group hire more JDs than CPAs? Any recommendations on what learnings/skills that can help you succeed in the group?

Question is: what is your longterm plan? Going corporate anytime soon? I think international tax will almost everytime be linked with international transactions. Transactions/deals tend to be more work under time pressure. Core tax will be more compliance related I think.

I always say to make the switch the earliest you can. International tax is a very complex area so the sooner you can get into the work the better. In terms of exit opportunities. There are definitely fewer options, but if you're in a market with lots of tech, there won't be a problem. One tip is to make sure you keep on top of your tax accounting skills as they are invaluable in industry.

For those saying a lot of it is m&a, that's certainly a factor but consider that most big companies looking into m&a will have a big4 do their diligence and implementation, so you'll end up doing more project management rather than the actual technical work in industry.

Had a very stupid move and drunkenly exchanged some provocative texts with a friend AND coworker. How do I recover from this/what do I say? I feel so uncomfortable those messages are the most recent conversation when we often need to talk about work items, life, etc.

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

After two years of trying to make manager, hints are dropping everywhere that it isn’t going to happen again this year.

Same excuses as always “think more about your clients business” or “step back and look at the big picture”

Like, you load me up with too much work to have extra time to ‘step back’ and look at anything OR, cool I thought about the clients business... that didn’t help me get this 1040 any closer to done.

Just feeling strung along and under appreciated

Our firm is establishing our target billable %'s at a small public accounting firm. Is there a website that gives target billable time % by staff level for the tax and accounting industry? Just started poking around the AICPA website, but would appreciate being able to save some time looking for it. I'm used to a lower % rate than what's being proposed (70% vs 85%) and don't want to cause undue pressure on staff, but do want to give a reasonable billable hours expectation going forward.
