Seeking advice on how to successfully transition to international tax. I have over 10 years of tax compliance experience working mainly on partnerships and some corps. I also have experience with various foreign forms (8865,5471,8858 etc). I have a CPA, but no JD.

If anyone has any thoughts on how someone like me can pivot, I would be grateful to hear them.
