When is the best time to leave? I’ve been a tax senior for almost a year now (spent two years as an associate). It’s common to make manager in my group after two years at senior. Not sure if I should stick it out for at least another year or try to get out now.

If you're trying to get out of tax, now.

If not, up to you.

You can start looking to see what's out there. If you can get a big pay raise by leaving now, then go for it. Or if you don't like what you see, you can wait for manager and then use that to hopefully springboard you to an even higher salary elsewhere

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
