Had a PWC ping me yesterday for an MD role in Tax. Worth the switch, or is MD a dead-end role with PWC?

KPMG1, considering what your firm’s PCAOB pass rates are, I’m not sure you have any level of credibility to talk about anything on here. But if you were to meet any MD at PwC you’d know they are some of the smartest people out there and would likely be able to even turn your firm around. Honestly, I doubt you’d even given the opportunity to become a manager at PwC so I’d watch what you say.

@KPMG 1: your comment about lack of self respect is quite dickish.

Dead end. You will be stuck at $300k salary and too expensive for most roles outside of the firm. They will tell you there is a path to partnership from that role but the lie detector determined that was a lie.

Depends what you consider “dead end.” I will say MDs generally do remain so for the rest of their career at the firm. There is no path to partner from that role. But I certainly wouldn’t say an MD at PwC has a dead end career

Depends on what you are looking for. MD isn’t a bad gig but at PwC it is looked at as a huge cost rather than a revenue generating position. That being said Tax MDs are usually specialists in their area and are given the freedom to do their specialty without much partner involvement to drive revenue.
