Deciding whether or not the right decision is to stay in your current tax job, or move to a new one, can be difficult.
And if you do decide to move, you then need to find your ideal tax role and then go through the recruitment stages before getting offered the job.
All of this takes time and effort, with no guarantee of being successful.
Plus, there is so much choice and no clear place to start, and this can be overwhelming and prevent you taking any action.
James Howell, this episode’s guest and a specialist tax recruiter, is here to help, sharing loads of great advice to help you decide whether you should stay in your current tax role, whether you should move, and if you should move, what to do to make sure you find the ideal job for you.
It’s impossible to know 100% whether the right thing to do is to move or stay, and whether the right thing to do is accept a job offer, once you’ve received it. But all of James’ advice will help you make a decision.
Take a listen to the episode.
