Think more about the kind of client you want to work with.

Do you want large corporation with its own in the house tax department that is primarily driven by a provision?

Or do you want to work with private equity that is primarily driven by cash flow and likely does not have in-house tax?

Sub K if you comparing with mid size corporations. If you planning to work on large multinationals, those are fairly complex.

I agree that you should decide based on what kind of clients, industry, and exit opportunities you want to focus on.

I’m a sub C guy, and sub K hurts my head. But sub K guys will tell you it’s intuitive. It’s like water to them. You can learn either one!

Sub K until consolidations, provisions, multi state and international compliance get thrown in, then Sub C

I second that. It’s a thankless job with high turnover, late hours, and the work is treated as a commodity. Signed by someone who’s been doing this for 20 years. I’ll take Sub C state work all day and double on a Sunday.

Overall very happy with the switch so far - happy to answer any questions!

EY v/s GT...
Whom would you choose and why?
Can someone please elaborate on amount of workload, policies, work culture and the busy season.

I have an offer from both where EY is paying slightly better than GT.

However, not really sure what to choose.
I have heard that busy season at EY is crazy, though coming from D, this should not be a concern, however I am too scared to jump into a deeper well hence any advice/opinion will be really appreciated.

Thanks
