Probably depends on what your end goal is for an exit more than anything.

I think there’s a good amount of transferable skills you gain in TS that apply to corporate finance but it will still require networking. Also depends if you want to go to IB, Corp Dev, FP&A. IB more so is open to TS right now from what I’ve experienced on LinkedIn. FP&A is more of a common exit from TS but the market is still hot and you see all different types of offers at the moment that like TS experience

CF is better than TS, especially at KPMG.

Is CF the IB arm? If so, then hands down CF. All you’ll be doing in TS is diligence.
