KPMG is famously not busy during tax season, especially if you’re in tax

If you are in tax, yes.

This is a very broad question. However, it’s safe to assume you will be working a lot during busy season. Depending on what tax service line and office you work at any firm, busy season can be pretty much all year around if you’re on a bunch of 12/31 YE and FYE compliance and tax provision clients.

Honestly it’s mostly normal hours. I wake up around regular time and still can logout by 530 or so. I’m also in audit

You on private clients?

Yes, you’re gonna work till 12-2AM, weekends/holidays. I’ve been through it. Its one of the toughest jobs I’ve ever had in my life. I would never want to go back to Tax ever again.

The work isn’t hard, it’s the grinding for 12-16 hours per day, endless amount of work, not interacting/talking with people, not being appreciated for your work at all, that’ll drive you crazy. At least in Audit you get to talk to your teammates and talk with clients. I literally had to work on Thanksgiving

Any consulting -> Tech sales people out there? Curious how consulting experience is perceived both from a compensation and placement standpoint in the tech world…? What should my expectation be? For context — I SDR’d as a senior in college and was promoted to AE right as I took a BA offer from McKinsey. Wanted to get broad exposure & become a more analytical problem solver… dont regret my decision at all but really loved sales and would like to get back around my 2-3 yr mark.

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.
