PwC WNTS Practice - Anybody here in this group? Is it possible to get in from core tax? Looks primarily like it’s M&A/ITS focused. What was your story in transitioning to this group?

There are many groups in WNTS besides M&A and ITS. The mix of JD/LLM vs CPA depends on the group, but it is more emphasis on the former compared to the rest of Tax. There aren’t many groups in WNTS that take fresh associates. Instead, many are experienced hires externally or laterally.

Yeah. You probably will need to move to ITS/M&A and get a taste of how specialization works for king to WNTS

I’ve seen people from non-specialty groups tour through WNTS. Those, however, were mostly senior tours, a program which I believe is being phased out.

The best way to move to WNTS would be to transfer to a speciality practice in your market, and after a couple of years, go on a manager/director tour in WNTS. Other than that, you could go $200k+ in debt and spend four additional years in school (JD + LLM).

The problem with getting experience in a specialty practice then going on a manager tour is the time horizon. While tried and true, this is a slow play and will take a few years to navigate.

If you have strong quantitative skills and experience with partnerships, a potential quicker path may be through the sub K modeling practice.

I’ve seen seniors come in from other groups, but it’s rare. There are many specialties besides ITS and M&A, But you’d have to identify where your skill set would be transferable. Only a few groups take associates and seniors.

Hi all,
Please refer me for AI/ML engineer and Data analyst-Engineer post.

I'm looking forward to make a switch towards AI/ML and Data science field. I've an experience of 2.5 years in the field of industrial automation but I really think this field is outdated with no more exciting job opportunities. I really feel that I'm stuck here and I hope you can understand my situation.

I'm willing to work as a fresher if required, but I want to move on.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
