I don't understand - did you think otherwise? of course tax experience is relevant for tax jobs?

Exactly lol. And tax is actually a super broadly applied career with so many options, industries, and directions you can take. Exit opportunities are near limitless if you stick with tax.
Tax is like glitter (or herpes). Once you get covered in it, it's hard to get rid of it.
I’m already in International tax lol. It still sucks. Thank you for the referral but I will pass on BDO

With international tax background I think you might be able to go to m&a or some type of tax advisory role
At least at KPMG, you it’s easier to get an internal gig in an entirely different field than an external company. My best friend worked in partnership compliance and recently got an internal FP&A gig at KPMG. She’s going to use this as a spring board to other companies.
Also tax technology can be a way to get out as well. You could get a project management certification if you find that interesting too.
Is the PM certification only available in the Tax Tech group?
Just an idea…I recently saw a job for a Tax Analyst where you would test software and their handling of returns etc. I thought this would be interesting myself. Because you wouldn’t be under demanding deadlines etc.

I agree with you but there are some great in house international and m&a tax roles that pay well
Is it possible to transfer from private service compliance to M&A?

True. But there are plenty of other tax speciality you can move onto. International tax, m&a, asc 740, salt, tax tech etc.
Dm me if you want referral to BDO audit or one of those tax roles.
If you’re still an associate I would def recommend switching to audit (advisory if you’re able to). I’m in tax, have a CPA, and got nowhere applying to non tax roles. Tax does get paid more than audit tho, at least at pwc
