Had an offer from BDO and a big4 firm in core tax. I just found out about m&a tax and it sounds so much more appealing. Told both BDO and big4 firm I wanted to do that instead. Big4 said it's very unlikely and would have to restart interview process etc. BDO said they have core tax that does m&a as well. They can put me there or I'd have to interview with national TAS. A bit unsure what to do. The other offers are expiring this week..

That BDO offer sounds like a scam to just get you in the door tbh. I doubt you are going to be able to get into m&a tax this late in the game. Do you have a masters or JD?

What @BDO1 said

Don’t do core tax with m&a . It’s not m&a tax but their national team likes to give m&a tax work to core tax to spite m&a tax group. It’s a truly bizarre dynamic.

funny

Don’t go to BDO
