If I️ find Audit kind of boring (planning, RMM etc), would it be a bad idea to switch to transaction services? Interested in TS but not sure if I’d be setting myself up for failure

TAS is different from audit in dome ways that are less boring. You will probably spend more time in Excel. Just FYI

TS is strictly a fuck up free zone

I work with TAS so much I may as well be a part of their service line and I’m not even sure what TSM1 means...

EY1, are you in Audit? And do you enjoy TAS?

No, I’m in People Advisory Services which is its own animal in some ways. Part tax and part advisory. I really enjoy the transactions I work with.
