The IRS does a lot of tax

Can’t beat that WLB 🤷‍♂️

EY seems to have the best tax practice, but we’re getting ready to split it into two with the proposed spin off 🤷‍♂️

Worked at EY before, definitely not the best. I’d say PwC and Deloitte are.

Yeah it literally doesn’t matter because it also depends on specific office as well

Also depends on the specific group. The clients you’re on and the people you work with really impact your experience

Deloitte or PwC in my opinion.

Depends what in tax and office. Can tell you tho, seems like people at PwC work more hrs compared to friends at other firms. Might just be the group I’m in tho

I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards?

Why do Big 4 firms interview you for a specific position level and then try to make you come in below that level...

That would be a lateral move for me in terms of level which be okay if at least it was a good pay increase but Their quoted pay range for the lower level would make it almost a lateral move financially too..
