Big 4 Audit Senior to Modelling Grad

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a weird situation vs to the usual Audit to Deals move.

I'm currently a Senior in the audit division at Big 4 - got promoted right after university as I was a cadet and worked full time whilst studying.

Doing an additional year at uni this year and hence applied for our Grad program to start in 2019 as a back up in the case no IBs had a bite. Does it make sense for me to go to the Modelling team as a grad - knowing that there is a possibility I could just simply lateral as a Senior if I waited my time?

Any advice or personal experience would be great
