Sommario/riassunto

This book addresses the considerations and factors that accounting professionals should take into account when pivoting from practice to higher education, think tanks, or other non-practitioner roles. Breaking down this transition, the book addresses issues connected to the types of job opportunities, where and when these opportunities might arise, and how any practitioner can reimagine their professional persona. Crafted from a first-hand perspective, the advice and anecdotes included throughout the book add a tangible and real-world feel to the concepts and ideas discussed in this book. Dr. Sean Stein Smith is an assistant professor of Accounting in the Economics and Business



Department at Lehman College. Sean serves on the Advisory Board of the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance, where he chairs the Accounting Working Group. His award-winning research has appeared in dozens of articles, books, and multi-media formats.
