Tax associate with 1 year of experience and my CPA looking to move to Audit. Realistic? Challenges? Easier when moving between firms or within my current firm? Masters won't make a difference right?

Doing masters to move from tax to audit is like throwing money at donald trump. Just talk to your councilor or someone in management. My two cents avoid hr at any cost. Theyre worthless

Why move to audit? Its the worst choice ever.

I was at BDO previously and depending on your office, the transition should be smooth. They did it for a number of people in my time there but move now. Don't wait until senior because they likely won't move you as a senior. You stand a better chance with BDO moving you at same level if you go now. BDO won't care about the masters to move to audit. Just show your willingness and talk to your career advisor about what you want and they'll help you move.

Confused as to when to jump from consulting. I joined a T2 consulting firm after MBA and working from 9 months but the job made me anxious and personal health took a hit.

I'm also concerned about exits from CEO's office roles, what do they look like?
Please help! Suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

Currently at a job where I just don’t like people or the work all that much. Fewer clients possibilities (we’re basically an in-house team) than our sister office plus I have no desire for a promotion. Sister office is much more of an actual agency plus the culture is way more up lifting- I can vouch personally. I would love to transfer to the other office or just look for new opportunities. How do I bring up wanting an internal transfer without making it sound like I will leave otherwise?

I need advice. I moved into product management under a year ago to a series a b2b startup. The first few months went well, but the last 5 have been chaotic. It feels like we’re becoming more sales led, there are too many pivots (I expected some) our roadmap is becoming influenced by sales/ceo. Essentially, we’re trying to do much. It’s happening so much I’m starting to lose confidence in the company/strategy. It’s also causing me anxiety…

I have an offer for a VP at Goldman doing IT Internal Audit. This is obviously back office and not IB. My question, do you all think Consulting would consider this work experience as high quality if I decide to come back in a few years? Currently a manager, and I love what I do but the prestige of working for GS is really attractive for me. Wondering if I do it a few years and want to come back to consulting if I’d be considered at director level or they’d want me to come back as manager.
