Anyone seen this situation or think it would work out? Trying to gauge how ridiculous of a request it could possibly come across as. I’m Tax Senior 3, slated for manager soon, consistently 5-rated. I’m willing to take a pay cut and my team is in dire need of managers.

Thoughts/comments? Anyone else thought of doing this?

Not in tax but I’ll give my few thoughts. First if you are 5 rated firm will do what they can to keep you. Secondly - they are pushing the ‘gig economy’ and while still think uptick is low - this could be the way of the future. Questions - were any main clients off year end or anything? Give. Tax has multiple busy seasons were you thinking you’d be out May-August or what? The few other things you will need to think about are trainings and stuff but given you said could work remotely obviously not a problem. Bottom line - I would absolutely ask and if you walked into my office ... not tomorrow but in April then I’d try and help you make it work

I knew a manager in tax that had summers off and then worked the rest of the year for busy season as her FWA. As long as the FWA works well for both you and your office/clients, it would be worth inquiring about

I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.
