Any US based Big 4 employees ever do a secondment to your offshore team’s country (e.g. India or Philippines) or is that not common? If so, care to share your experience??

Pre-Covid this was an option at PwC. I know a couple people who went to our Kolkata offshore team. Typically was a short stint but could be longer term.

I did a 3 month secondment to tax in India. It was awesome. I did learn things that were valuable for my career / team back home, but about 75% of the enjoyment was being in India and traveling and learning their culture. Very unique experience to be supported by the firm (both financially and safety wise) in a third world country. Cant get that same immersive experience in a 2 week trip.

For India at least, there is always demand for rotationals (it’s less popular than other international assignments like London, for example) so for me it was really easy to get approved and get support from my group. Discuss your desires with your performance leader and ask that they support you in the application process. If you want to go to other locations it may be more competitive but worth a shot to apply.

This was an option at Deloitte as well
