Big 4 Audit or TAS (transaction tax)

Hi,

Received offers in Big4 Audit and TAS. I wanted to go directly into TAS since my interests lay on valuation/M&A/corporate finance in IB or Fortune 100. However, most people that I talked to working in TS had experience in Audit and found it an important foundation of learning.

Which one should I pick?

Thanks!

Management Consulting LinkedIn Review

“Jaden has been incredibly helpful with reviewing my LinkedIn profile and supporting me through the application process. I really appreciate the time he takes to catch up with me, understand my current pace, and offer guidance that feels relevant to where I am right now. His feedback has helped me feel more confident about how I present myself and approach applications. It has been reassuring to have someone so approachable, supportive, and willing to help me keep moving forward at a pace that suits me.”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Adam was extremely clear and structured in his communication, which was particularly helpful as market sizing was a type of case that I had never practised before (and have interviews coming up where I have to use it). He explained how to approach the problem step by step, including which clarifying questions to ask, how to structure the calculations and how to approach the maths logically. His explanations were easy to follow and I came away with a much better understanding of how to tackle market sizing questions in future interviews.”
