Anyone here transfer to UK or any other foreign company after working in the US from the tax service line? I’m curious how that worked out for you and what that experience was like. Did you end up having to take a step down since UK and US tax laws are different? Did it derail your path? Was it difficult to transition? How did you go about it as well?

We also looked into it, and even with the increased buying power of their currency and some of the cost of living savings, it wasn’t very feasible. Even post exchange rates, salaries there are much much lower and they have local folks that specialize in doing US tax that you will be competing with.

If you’re fine taking a paycut / lifestyle change (especially if you’re younger) I’m sure it could be great. It didn’t really work out for our family.

M&A tax. We often send people on 2 year rotations to work in London. Working for the London firm but on US tax issues. Could find a similar option where you can still use your experience. Step down in pay, though

Better than ours then. I know someone who went from a MCOL and the adjustment wasn’t crazy, but London is not a MCOL city so real pay was lower. Also think that you don’t expect much of a raise while over there, then you get a big one coming back.
