Can anyone please share their experience or insight into a controversy & dispute resolution associate role with the big4? What does it involve day to day, WLB, compensation (NY/DC locations), exit opportunities (foreign LLB/GULC tax LLM)? How does the work in WNT differ from other offices? KPMG Deloitte PwC Grant Thornton BDO EY

This sounds...like an interesting role. I don't know much but following this thread out of curiosity. I think it's a lot of firefighting/preventative work

Yes, apparently it's one of the less popular service lines in the big4 firms. I could hardly find anything in the forums about it, though there is marketing material put out by the firms. The few people in it (from a quick review of LinkedIn) are lawyers who are mainly former tax court clerks/IRS attorneys.

Good WLB comparatively and often well-liked teams being majority former IRS or counsel. Typically top heavy so a good learning opportunity. They handle everything from audits and Appeals to collections, penalties, check the box, EIN issues, return filing issues, PLRs, 9100 relief, or other IRS practice and procedure with the service centers. Not as highly compensated as M&A or International but still do well.

There is a lot of research and writing if your work involves more then practice and procedure. KPMG has good people in that group. Technically, you get exposed to a lot of different areas of tax to be a mile wide and an inch deep.

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
