PWC International Tax or KPMG - BTS ( Senior)

I have a potential decision to make between these 2. Could all tax professionals please advise which direction is better? PWC VHCOL ( SFO, NYC) and KPMG is HCOL (LA, MIAMI, SJ, San Diego).

What should be the ideal salary and potential exit ops?

PwC has a much larger tax practice and largest F500 audit so the tax clients are better too. Technology imo is better using track vs w workpapers and DMS vs Orion.

International is a specialty group so comp I would assume is about $10k more, however BTS core tax if you like heavy compliance work has a lot of variety.

Your opinion is appreciated. Also - “less audit deficiency” is hilarious 😂

PWC international tax seems like a better option. I believe Pwc has a few subgroups within ITS…which group did you get the offer from?

Currently in PWC ITS coming from KPMG BTS group. BTS is heavy compliance based. In PWC ITS it's very consulting based. It depends on what you prefer. So far I enjoyed PWC more but my team from KPMG was great and friendlier.

SJ is also VHCOL btw

What is BTS?

Don't know exact detail but it's Corporate Tax

As IRS1 said , we have two groups in ITS: QS which focuses on international compliance and also modeling, consulting group has a mix of consulting and some compliance.

If you like compliance, stick with the BTS offer.

For the QS group within tax consulting group, was wondering whether that group primarily handles modeling and transaction support Calc instead of heavy compliance?

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring?

Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
