First year in tax at a top 10 firm. Moving to a different city in the summer where my firm is not located, and am thinking of joining B4. I do not really like tax but also do not hate it, and have heard on here that audit provides better exit opportunities than tax does. Do you guys think its worth losing that year of tax experience to go to audit? In B4, how much more does audit travel compared to tax?

i have never traveled for tax in the 9 years ive been with pwc lol. If traveling is what youre looking for then go with audit. they travel quite often 50 to 80%. But audit makes less than tax.

Your year of experience means little, you are coming in as an associate anywhere you go and you likely won’t get promoted to senior faster in either tax or audit.

In audit, I’ve traveled like 3 days in a year for one client, and 1 week in a year for another client.

Nowadays the clients know we can do this virtually and so most of them don’t want us in their face or to pay excess cost for travel expenses. (There are certain clients that will require more travel or in-person work for their own unique situations though.)
