We are aggressively hiring for data analytics. Pretty sure a lot of the group came from other service lines having done a rotation but don’t think that’s the only way.

Are you still hiring? I’m tax technology and would love to switch to data analytics. Have experience with visualization and ETL tools 🙏🏻

Almost all svc lines have an analytics division. For tax specifically, there is a team called TTT that is a mix of data and tax, you can try working in the group to see if you like analytics at all while using your tax knowledge. If you like, you can work in analytics if not you could always pick core tax work within the group.

I’m assuming I’m going to have to take a pay cut and start toward bottom of totem pole. Any recommendations/advice on roles to apply for since I’m new to the field? Would like to be in tech if possible in Charlotte, NC or remote.
