First year in Big 4 tax here. I’ve come to realize already I’d rather do something in Finance with my life. Thoughts on if I finish out my year in tax, do one year of audit, and look for exit ops after 2 years at Big 4, 1 year of both tax and audit? Would that make me well rounded in say FP&A or corporate finance? I’m not interested in IB, PE or any of the super big ticket fields. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

I may have someone in mind who would be very interested! Please let me know if this is still available/open.

You should get out of tax if you don’t want to be in tax but I don’t think 1 year of tax and 1 year of audit is going to get interest from FP&A or Corp finance

I think there is a hiring frenzy right now that allows for rare opportunities such as moves from compliance to advisory, audit to FDD etc. I think this was unheard of at lower levels before. I don't know how long that will last.

I wouldn’t try to move until you have your CPA license if you don’t already. I have seen a few associates recently move out of B4 tax directly into an industry FP&A role but the CPA was the reason. As said above, this is probably due to the current market.
