Out of curiosity, what are exit opportunities for those in the tax field? Can we also transition easily to other pursuits such as Wealth Managemnt/IB or Consulting?

Does audit/advisory have an easier transition into other roles as compared to those in tax? Or is it an un-said thing that we are on equal footing?

Once had a B4 Partner laughed at me and told me, "Kid, get out of tax immediately. You'll be stuck there forever."

Honestly, wtf did he mean?

Appreciate honest/blunt answers 👍

I’m wondering too, all the exit opportunities I’m interested seem to all value audit and not tax, so I’m thinking of even taking a pay cut to do audit if I have to.

I am, and the type of tax opportunities you get will usually correlate with the practice you were in.

Hi Fieshes, i don’t want to leave development but the job roles I’m getting now after i resigned are the business analyst roles and not the data science ones as i thought of them to be. . So will i be able to get to data science after these business analyst roles. Does business analytics include the data science and development. Or should i look for better opportunities.


Please help.
