Hey!! A question I can answer! I’m in transfer pricing, only two years in. We work closely with M&A tax. I think we’re both equally busy. From my experience, none have a traditional busy season (except maybe the 10/15 extension deadline). My busy times vary from week to week, which makes it difficult to plan things. Work is interesting though, I’m always challenged. I can’t speak for M&A. Anything specific you want to know?

I hear it's easiest for TP folks to get a secondment from a US office than other groups. Is that true? Would make sense based on the work they do.

M&A lifestyle is hard to plan for- you can know when a deal will hit to a certain extent but there’s still a lot of variety. Transfer pricing has more exit opportunities, but we both seem to write a fair bit.

I’m leaving TP right now to go to audit. The hours in TP were brutal year long and the exit opps are limited.

Can I get your perspective if it is too early for me to jump? Started with two summer internships at the same company. Then I did an 8 month internship, followed by 1 year full time at PwC. Then I moved to KPMG FDD, have been here for 1.5 years. High rating yet I didn’t make senior this year so I am looking at my options, particularly since FDD has been incredibly busy.
