Depends; are you an accountant working in tax tech like alteryx, business analyst type of role? Then the exit opportunities are limited because of your educational background; maybe try doing a masters in computer science. If you are a tech guy within tax technology, like .net developer/sql etc, lots of opportunities out there. I even saw many alteryx, power apps types of roles out there, but they require some kind of math heavy/computer sc background(not accounting math).

I’ve been in tax tech for 8+ years with most time spent at B4. Started in tax data and process automation/analytics, and then moved into product managing the development of enterprise-wide solutions and leading change management strategy and implementation. Just always curious to see what opportunities are available. You don’t know what you don’t know. The last thing you want to do is be complacent and find out too late that your skills are obsolete.

I’m in Tax tech - aren’t there opportunities in other tech-ish consulting groups/ data visualization? Haven’t looked

Are you in corptax or indirect tax? I see few opportunities here and there in industry, but they prefer hard-core tech background like CS major. For indirect tax, I will check Amazon or any FAANG or marketplace facilitor business or retailers. They usually have big data. No comments on corp tax side though. All the best.

Most of this work is handled by the tax prep firm vs in house so less opportunity for a similar role in industry. I see a fair amount of tax tech for state related junk at tech companies tho
