Has anyone seen someone in big4 M&A tax switch to a generalist consulting role at T2/MBB? Not expecting tenure to transfer. People at the ~consultant level have said it’s basically an impossible switch, so I’m looking to see if PPMDs share that sentiment.

Not impossible but almost certain to require an MBA or a bridge role in industry. More difficult and less likely the more experienced you are.

Already have a (non-target) MBA - picked it up to fulfill the 150 credit requirement to sit for the CPA. Otherwise I would try to get a top MBA now

Sort of. Have seen a case where they went tax --> risk advisory--> step down in tenure in consulting

I think EYP's point is that, rightly or wrongly, consulting firms won't differentiate between specific types of tax experience (would just be seen as "tax").

If stepping away from M&A tax would be a big career move down within the tax space, it may not be wise for you then to do it just for the purposes of changing your positioning for consulting recruitment.

Will declining the interview set a bad taste for the recruitment team?
