Anyone here work at EY TARAS (Tax Accounting & Risk Advisory Services) I’ve heard the team has some of the smartest people at EY and the highest utilization among all the tax groups. It sounds pretty intense and honestly a bit intimidating. Just curious what it’s really like to work there — would love to hear your experience or any insight!

I was there for 2 years more recently. They switched from regions to national model, which I didn’t love, but it is indeed a group full of smart people and I learned a lot. Happy with my time spent there. EY raises for tax as a whole seemed really subpar the last two years and this is why I ultimately left but I liked TARAS a lot overall - it was great to get away from the year-round compliance grind as TARAS is more busy in Jan-Feb (year-end), April (Q1), July (Q2), and October (Q3), aka the busy months were focused around year-end and quarterly SEC reporting requirements but we actually had lighter periods in between the busy periods.

You will work on complicated provisions and see a lot of complex stuff that you would originally not be exposed to unless you’re in a speciality ASC 740 focused group such as TARAS.

I sent you a DM - thank you!

I’m currently in EY TARAS and the above assessment is accurate. Great experience, great people, initial compensation was good but my salary increase last year was very poor

I thought it was just me who received a 2% increase with a progressing rating as a senior. That’s wild that SMs who had a better rating than progressing received the same. No wonder there was a mass exodus this fiscal year at the manager and SM levels

Yeah I disagree with this too. Working at EY has opened countless doors for me that I otherwise wouldn’t have had

Mid 2020, I turned down an opportunity to jump ship from my small law firm to a big law firm. At the time I had 4 years of practice under my belt with managerial experience. I thought the offer was reasonable, come in at a 2nd year level, but with the uncertainty of the times I played it safe. Now I regret it. What avenues do I have, if any, to jump into big law from a small firm?

Does anyone feel that the Oil and Gas industry is the most discriminatory industry of all? They won’t even look at resume without O&G experience! It does not make sense to me as I would rather teach someone the specifics of an industry if they were a good fit. And for an industry that has so many obstacles from Government, Environmental Organizations and so on, why they are adding more bad publicity to themselves is not a great approach.
