Do any of the Big 4 do short term secondments (6 months) or are they always 2 years?

They aren’t technically secondments at that short period of time, but most have short term things like that. When they are short term and not secondments, you generally have all your travel and living expenses paid for instead of getting a salary adjustment and getting paid by the local firm.

Right now PwC will give you an extra $15k to spend 3 months in India.

Recently, we have been doing them to India, Manila and Buenos Aires to train the ACs. Years ago we had them to Japan to assist with quality issues. Typically they are inbound to deal with staff shortages.

Pwc did before covid. Most are inbound to the US for busy season, but I had buddies that went to New Zealand in the summer for 6 months

Depends on business need, but shorter term secondments do happen. Most of the ones now are to help the team in India.

Where can you find these?

They used to offer busy season secondments to Australia. Not sure if they still do.
