What are the chances of switching from a Big4 TAS with focus on Private Equity to an IB in Germany/Europe? Did anyone make that switch before? It would be great to hear your story. Thanks

I work in B4 TAS in Germany and have been actively getting recruited for various IBs. I think the chances are very high especially if you network / search roles and apply. All of the „offers“ have come through LinkedIn inmail from various IB and PE recruiters

That sounds super positive! I’ve heard in the US its almost impossible but in Europe there seems to be hope

I’ve been thinking of making a switch from audit to TAS. I’m currently a S1 (2 busy seasons experience), and rated as a top performer at my firm.

Honestly, I want to switch to TAS but not that desperate to leave my firm. Anyway, I just wonder if you guys have the same situation and usually how long it takes to get promoted?

The question is, is graduation from law school, not minimum competency? With this line of reasoning we are saying that law schools do not produce competent future lawyers, so should we instead switch to a system of taking the bar without the three years of a measure that frankly bar associations have deemed not an adequate measure? Dash this comment aside if it is fallible, but there is something here that has been overlooked. Competence is not regurgitation and memorization.
