For most firms it’s not exactly something you can just “do”. It’s usually a rotational program for high performers unless you have a legitimate reason to move overseas.

Have been to Europe and Latin America maybe 10 times for deal work. Fairly rare - usually situations where the client still wanted to use EY but local teams were conflicted out, or roll up situations where we had close relationships with the finance team at the acquirer and they wanted us to come along on their diligence trips.

Actual secondments are a thing at all the firms. Have seen them being pushed actively since Covid but you can always ask the question
