Hi guys, I am an incoming staff in tax at big 4 but I realized I want to start in audit. How long do I have to wait before I can change? And will they let me change?

Tell them ASAP before you get scheduled on projects. If you haven't started yet, maybe they can switch you by the time you start or hopefully within a few weeks or months. Unfortunately it's not a quick process, as there is a lot of underlying HR and accounting stuff that needs to be changed, but I have never seen a firm reject a request from someone at the staff level, especially an oncoming staff.

I had a friend transfer from tax to audit within one year of joining. Very possible, just let them know ASAP and keep reminding them and asking to set a date. Reach out to both your partner/RL/HR

I had the same thoughts as you as an incoming tax intern. About 2 months before my internship I reached out to my recruiter to tell her I wanted to switch to audit. A week and a couple phone calls later I received a new offer for assurance.

If you’re sure you want to switch, I would reach out as soon as possible. Assurance can always use more people so I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem
