You won’t learn about operating a business in tax or audit at big 4.
I’m a senior 1 in financial audit and although I can’t really speak for Tax I feel as though you’d inherently learn more in audit as you touch more areas of the business... but so much of audit is spent detail testing and constantly moving from audit area to audit area that the actual business operations often get lost. Especially in financial services bc you often have multiple clients and you’re often just trying to get through everything. The best Managers/SMs/Partners I’ve had will take the time to discuss the business’ operations with staff & seniors with the understanding that educating us will help drive good audit work... but sadly this isn’t as common practice as it should be.
