Anyone worked in a Big 4 M & A tax group, or international tax group? I wanted to learn more about the work schedule/ experience as compared to the more traditional 3/15 9/15 deadline driven groups

There are good and bad with compliance and M&A. I like the M&A work a lot as it was more challenging and diverse, but it was super hard to predict your busy times. And once you were busy one a transaction you could be crazy busy for a year. Or it could fall through in the middle and then you are left with no work. Plus if you are good you will travel a lot.

Before M&A I did compliance and have gone back to it. While the work is less exciting the travel is way less intense. Busy season is more predictable and zip know when the end is (and when I can plan personal things again).

Thank you for the informative response! It seems M & A tax is a potentially rewarding experience short-term, with it becoming more challenging to juggle work and life as you progress. I appreciate the insight.
