I didn't have to. You can learn anything fairly quickly if they are willing to train you. I had no prior industry experience and same qualifications as you, except audit instead of tax. Just keep looking

When I left public accounting for industry, I had ZERO tax provision experience. Industry taught me everything I needed to know. I am sure however if when I was interviewing and the other candidates had tax provision experience , I would not get the job. Just keep trying .

What do you want in your next role? Do you want to be in tax still or GL accounting or SEC reporting etc.
You’ll need to cater your resume to those since you’ve spent 3 years specialized and be ready to talk about how you have a good background in accounting with your CPA and how those skills translate
