I find the work boring and annoying. I also don’t see myself in Tax. (Long story short, I interviewed for audit but they moved me to tax).

Same here, I work for a mid sized firm that tries really hard to act like the Big 4, only thing is they don’t give nearly the same benefits and just cut our pay with everything point to layoffs across the board soon 😞

I think it's better to switch LOS now while you're just out of school and have limited experience. If your career advisor isn't someone you trust, consider talking to someone within your firm in the other line of service if they are hiring. If not, apply to other firms.

Unfortunately with the coronavirus situation a lot of firms are not hiring right now.

Hello, I have 4 years of experience between Financial decision support and pricing. However, I feel like my experience is too narrowed to how my current company operates. I am looking to pivot into consulting at one of the big4 ( for ~2-3 years)or any other consulting firm to have a well rounded experience that could be applicable to any industry. Any advices ?or thoughts ?
