I know the common theme is to go from big 4 to smaller firm so I’m a little nervous about being able to go up

I went from RSM to Big4 in a specialty group having only fed core experience. Had some industry experience in between in said specialty. Get a referral but will say M&A is harder to get into. Try international first then try to rotate later. Good luck. DM if you have questions.

Very high chances! I would suggest start applying asap if you want make the move, recruitment process could take a while

What specialty group?

“Core” M&A typically works on C-Corp transactions but each of the Big 4 have a subset of M&A that specializes in partnership transactions, allocations, capital account maintenance etc. I work in partnership M&A at KPMG. At RSM, that group is called PSCG, I believe for Pass-Through Consulting Group, have some friends there.

Come to BDO M&A if Big four doesn’t workout.

What office are you at?

DM for referral for pwc

I went from RSM to Tax consulting. Let me know if you want a reference.

After reading your comments you are definitely getting demoted. It’s just different. Also PE is not M&A. You are way off. If you want a lateral transfer it would be PE/Real estate. But I don’t think you have the technical skills

lol wow I’m surprised your head fits in the room. I understand PE doesn’t equal M&A. All I was saying acquisitions got me interested mergers and acquisitions.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago.

Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
