ITT: Inspiration for those trapped in shitigation
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 17th, 2015 11:34 AM Author: Aphrodisiac principal's office new version I came in class of 2011 set to join tax group of v30. Was told I had to do litigation because no one in tax was billing more than 1000 hours (I had split my summer). Did it for three years, hated it. Tried to do tax controversy lit as much firm had it available, but lit just wasn't for me.
Finally got fed up with it, started spamming firms about starting over as a 1st year tax associated (I'm fine w/ the demotion; just want to be doing work I enjoy again). Starting at a v50 next month.
Feeling pretty empowered, bc I felt like I was stuck on a shit career path. Can get better bros. |

Date: January 19th, 2015 10:35 AM Author: Aphrodisiac principal's office new version Tyty. It's very cerebral and requires a lot of thought. I like the issues, have spent a lot of time with it and am interested in it (dad is an accountant, worked in his office growing up). I like working with the law (rather than facts), and enjoy the puzzle of trying to figure out how the code/regs work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2784574&forum_id=2#27145080) |
