What else should I be doing as a Tax Staff 1 to eventually transfer into an M&A/advisory service line? I got lucky my first year and was placed on a brutally difficult PE client that had tons of M&A activity. Great reviews. I am studying for the GMAT now and going to be applying to B-School in 3 yrs. So I’d like to be in the line of work before I apply..

Oh I don't think tax work is really helpful for that. Idk if fdd would transfer someone in from tax, external hires or auditors would likely be a better fit. But someone from ey would have a better perspective

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.
