Question: I’ve recently realized that my job isn’t giving/affording my skills/resources to keep me “relevant” in todays market and I need to make a switch. I have a degree in PR and 6 years experience. Any advice?

As a second year, if you already switched firms once, would it be weird to lateral again in January? For context have worked at two mid sized firms, one for 5 months the other for almost a full year. Trying to make a jump to big law. And how would you address that in any interview. Appreciate all perspectives.

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.

Hi all!
