For those of you in TAAG at EY, would you recommend it? Seems very niche in the sense there may not be big exit ops but interesting. I am aiming to set myself up for long term but not sure if it’s the right move.

At kpmg, but prob same as ey (if you’re talking about FDD). It’s better than audit but all in all depends on goals

Exit ops really aren’t niche

Ya it’s better than audit. And if you don’t like it, you can switch to FAAS more easily than other internal transfers. This is because TAAG is under FAAS

Will say you’ll only do accounting policy/research stuff in TAAG but it’s pretty much remote. It’s good experience to have, but I couldn’t see myself doing it long term. I think a rotation would be a good happy medium.

All the people I know in TAAG love it though. Only people I know who’ve asked to switch to faas from TAAG are staff.

TAAG is fully remote too

I work in TAAG, most of the people that have been in it for a decent time (a few years) really like it. It’s very much technical accounting focused. You learn a ton, but if you want broader exit opportunities outside of technical accounting, core FAAS is likely better.

For people who like complex accounting and unique “figure it out” transactions it’s a good place to be.

Love to hear that. I’m in core FAAS but I’ve been thinking about a transfer since TAAG is more in line with my interests and I’m looking for better WLB, so it’s good to hear that’s been your experience.

(1/2) Hi all, based in the UK 🇬🇧, would appreciate your advice on how I could break into product management.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
