What? Believe me, it's a lot of work trying to fit fat, unattractive women into 7's.

Manager in a public accounting firm
audit not tax
Whats wrong with tax?
BORING! as there is little client interaction and you are rarely outside of the office.
Plus there is little upside. I can leave public accounting and do: FP&A, GL, Treasuary, Consolidations, Controller, SEC, Revenue, Cost, or Internal Audit.
What can you do with a tax background? Tax.
Company's generally only have 1-4 tax accountants on site and that is a for a public company. If you are a private Company you will not have any tax folks on site, but you will have 2+ accountants.
I've been doing this for 6+yrs in Silicon Valley, I think I know what I'm talking about. Plus I spent 5 of those years at a Big 4.
You act as if there is no room to grow in tax. And your comment about tax being boring is your opinion. To some, auditing may be boring, and some actually enjoy tax. In your case, you happen to find it boring, and thats fine, but it doesnt apply to everyone.
Please explain to me the growth in tax you see oh wise one? You are a college student, I have been out for over 6yrs. I worked for the Big 4, I work alongside tax folks at my firm.
In industry there is little upside. In public, there is the same upside as a auditor, Partner. But once you leave public good luck finding a job.
Maybe my opinion is biased because I was offered a position here in tax upon graduation. Before this, I interned at a non-public CPA firm doing....TAX. Although I havent worked public, and I dont plan on it, I have not had bad experiences with tax so far. With tax experience, I could stay where I am at now, work for another CPA firm, start a CPA firm later down the road. I dont understand what you're saying other than you feel Tax is boring.
Start a CPA firm that doesn't know how to do Financial Statements or Accounting?

How the hell do you graduate college with a degree in accounting without knowing how to prepare a financial statement?
