What are the chances of someone with Big4 audit experience as a senior associate getting a GS-13 level position at the IRS? Also, I don't like preparing tax returns but do you think auditing tax returns would be more like auditing financial statements?

With no tax experience? Low

At gs-13 level, It’s not just about verifying numbers are right. There will also be disputes on interpretation of tax law statutes/regs that you’ll need to be conversant on.

Noted, thanks!

There’s a specialist role in LB&I called Computer Audit Specialist. They start at GS-13. Ask on the Revenue Agent virtual hiring events on how to apply for that.

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA? Hated my time at the F300 but had thought the grass would be greener in industry. I’m starting a financial analyst position at a major hospital system in my area soon and want to stick with that for a couple years before making a transition but was curious if I just don’t have the right experience for a role in advisory.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
