Thoughts on H4B Chelsea?
So Sanofi is setting up an analytics center in Hyderabad and seems to be recruiting quiet aggressively. I am negotiating on an offer but it quite low compared to industry standards. Does anybody have any idea how it is? They seems to have barely anything set up as of now. Sanofi Eli Lilly and Company ZS Associates

I chose tax because I thought it was harder (to me) than audit. I wanted a challenge.I was dumb. It was harder for me because it’s more about the law (the codes, the regs) and English is not my first language. It’s been 5 years and I only love the compliance and calculations. I HATE research, memo, decks. Wish I had gone with audit. I like numbers way more than words. I still have a hard time reading the regs due to language.
Idk. Audit requires a lot of language skills too.
I’m in tax and I just got an offer for an audit position at another firm. I chose tax because I hated my audit profs in school, not because I liked it more than audit. I ended up not enjoying tax at all in practice.
The compliance is plug and chug. Following rules that don’t always make the most sense. I spend most of my days in busy season in GoSystem and editing PDFs. I can’t take it anymore.
I’m in tax. Chose it because I felt like the concepts are more concrete and the work can be done more independently to some extent. I find the work is interesting, because I like figuring out puzzles and how things fit together. I have not looked beyond public in tax, because I like the pace in public and want to stay here. I know some people who’ve ended up in some industry tax positions that seem happy with it as well. I like the sales and client facing aspect in public.

I choose tax because I was good at it in college, I was able to grasp the concepts faster then audit topics. Don’t expect to give advice to your client the first day you join. Sometimes the client just wants the tax return done or that is all you have time for.
I chose tax because it seemed like a better fit for me; I’m an introvert and didn’t want to travel. Also, a relative who is a CPA advised me that starting out in tax would be better because it’s more specialized than audit, so it would be easier to switch to audit from tax than vice versa. And, tax has higher pay than audit.
So far I’ve been happy with my choice, there are times it sucks (like now 😬), but overall I like what I do
Would love to have the opportunity to advise clients on tax strategy in the long term as well. I do not see myself in audit for much longer
Did a couple of audit internships and was so bored. Didn’t think I was any decent at Tax, turns out I enjoy it and things have been going great so far.
