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.

Need some career advice.

I have a year of experience in a clinical ops role where learning is quite stagnant.

It would be really helpful to get your guidance on further course of action.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

What is a typical salary to expect? I was asked in screening but kept it vague (e.g can discuss later bla bla). I was hoping 75-80 (ridiculous?)
