Most folks I know have gone in-house on the compliance side (usually family office or smaller VC/PE firms) or to the IRS, though that’s probably less appealing currently. There’s likely a few corporations with in-house roles in the M&A space, but there you’re also competing with all of the attorneys currently looking to pivot of of big4 and MM deals teams. For what it’s worth, the CPA’s I know are much happier in their compliance / return prep roles, even with the pay cut!

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.
