I am interested in a short term international secondment, say 6-12 months at most.
How easy or difficult is it to secure one? I work in transfer pricing which is very similar in most jurisdictions so it will not be a steep learning curve for me.

It depends on the place you’re wanting to go to. There needs to be a need. I would go ask your counselor as they’re the one who has to initiate the request. I’d go checkout the mobility4u page if you haven’t already.

They are more likely to go for the 12 months +. Depending on where you want to go it’s very expensive for both PwC US and the other firm. 6 month secondments are a hard sell outside AC or a really desperate member firm.

Right now, I’d say it’s pretty difficult. Secondments are very expensive for the firm, so unless you’re a top performer plus there’s a business need, It will be hard to get. Check out the mobility page

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?
