Ok so I have two offers for a job next year, one in big 4 audit and another in big 4 M&A tax. They both have similar base salaries to start out and I like both opportunities . Which one should I consider?

M&A tax hands down

like

What’s the reasoning?

I work in audit and I think you should do M&A Tax. It is more specialized with fewer exit oops compared to audit but you get paid significantly more

like

M&A Tax pays much more in the long run, but you have to like tax. From audit you can go to FDD or something different. Just have to have a solid plan

like

M&A tax pays the most in accounting

Either the audit job is paying a big premium to come in or the M&A tax job is paying you way under.

Very surprised that the starting offers are the same for audit and m&a tax. M&a tax pays much more than audit

like

Yeah it's a shitty offer but OP can bounce after a year and earn 50% more at another firm

M&A Tax pays more. There is also more opportunity for growth. But what are your goals? That matters

I would say M&A from what I have heard.

I'd go for the audit since you said that offers for both roles have similar rate for the base. No one stays longer than 2 years in M&A. It's boring and mundane.

Ok marketing coordinator

Hi Fishes,

If the gross CTC is more than 120K in Poland, tax will be 32% right?

Are there any other deductions apart from this?

My assumption is, we get atleast 68% of our gross. Are there any ways this can further reduce?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
