Has anyone switched from audit to tax (specifically international tax/transfer pricing)? At what point in your career did you make the switch?

I switched as a staff 2 and was a staff 2 for a year and a half before promoting to senior

Also - when you made the switch, how many years back did you transfer to?

Transfer pricing is the easier jump due to the research/writing/understanding financial statement aspects of it. I did it as an experienced associate. I had to spend an extra year as an associate, but it was fine.

People have made the switch and historically sone of our best ITS Partners were “kicked out” of audit. However it is not a common path and there would need to be need for people in ITS. However at the moment, at least at EY, we are in need of people in ITS as tax reform is generating large amounts of work that we don’t expect to normalize for another 18-24 months. That doesn’t mean we will be letting people go then, ITS will have changed and the need for people will remain. It just may not be so frantic
Regarding how many years - that really depends on your level, your education and whether any of the work you did it Audit is transferable to ITS.

Currently in last year as Experienced Associate going into Senior Associate promotion in 2019.

OP - very sorry, PwC’s levels have different names than ours. How many years out of school? Assuming you are a CPA?

3rd year at firm, and yes.

As an ITS Principal; I would have little issue with you coming in at the same year you are now to preserve your salary but it may take you an extra year to make Manager. So in our lingo you are a Senior 1 now. You would likely make manager in 2 years. That may take you an extra year. It may not - that would depend on how quickly you picked it up. I would assume you already have delegation skills and some experience managing a team. It is the tax technical side you don’t know. We would get you in training ASAP for that too.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
