What is the perception out there for non B4 but top 10 firms? Tax specific. Best, worst, and why? Both market reputation and internal work groups / culture / career opportunities. Would love to hear all perspectives.

As a tax partner, shouldn’t you have a good sense for this already?

What is your view?

I’m more curious what the market thinks - the good, bad, and ugly - when I know I have a bias in my firm and my role. Many times people aren’t honest with partners so I’m wanting to understand if it would be easier in this venue. Really just trying to learn perspectives of what people are looking for so we can try to adapt and help people success in this career.

I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!
