I’d look within EY first for opportunities in different groups. Naturally it would mean more years as a senior, but would likely be an easier transition as you already know all the “firm” lingo

Applicable to industry. has anyone done this? Thoughts?

Agree with PwC1 although it might be easier to switch to a different firm as a core tax senior where you can work on a lot of different projects

Why are you trapped?

No place to go except up

If you want to jump to industry I would suggest moving into Corp tax... more options in industry

But probably as a staff cause how can I be expected to perform as a senior?

They generally won’t let you drop a level.. they accept you will do staff work at a senior rate but expect ext you to have a fast learning curve

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Sharks and other fishes,
I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.
