Hi everyone, I would appreciate your serious advice. I’m currently an A1 auditor at a Big 4 firm. I relocated from another state, and at the time of my application, I couldn’t find any tax positions, so I ended up in audit. I’m okay with the work, but the excessive travel has been really draining, and it’s starting to affect my health. Deep down, I still want to work in tax.

I’m wondering if I should approach my PML about transferring to tax, or if I should just look for another job elsewhere.

I am currently in industry, but was a Senior in Accounting Advisory, and before that an audit associate. I’m thinking of trying DDV at PwC as I’ve always been interested in M&A integration, but am unsure on carry over of skills and also would like to go somewhere I can be bumped to Manager as I was almost there prior to leaving industry. I know they are on a hiring spree so would coming in as a Manager be possible? I’ve previously been on M&A audit/AAS engagements.

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from. Aside from the cost of it, I like my program, and the fact that I’m now connected to an incredible alumni network. And not gonna lie, I like the clout. Thoughts?
