Big 4 TAS or IB Controller?
Currently have an offer to intern for a Big 4 TAS next summer and will most likely get a full-time offer upon completion of the internship. However, I’m also interviewing soon for the Controllers division at a bulge bracket IB.
If I get offers for both positions, which one should I accept? I’m interested more in finance roles rather than accounting and would rather work for an IB. However, I don’t want to pigeonhole myself either and get stuck in a back-office position forever. I applied for some other front-office roles at the IB but given my credentials I think it’s unlikely I’ll get those positions.
If I want to transition to more finance-heavy/front-office roles would it make more sense to start in TAS? Or is it possible to get there starting in Controllers?
ak2027, shame nobody has responded. Maybe one of these topics will help:

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Take it from somebody who worked for 2 years in EY SaT, you're far better off taking a front office position @ a Big 4 vs. a back office job at a BB. You're not focusing on accounting as much as you think, you're going to be doing a lot of valuation work (DCF, Comps Building, NAV, EV/EBITDA etc.).
The exit ops are great as well. You'll easily be able to lateral into a T2 BB IB position or a Elite MM Boutique, with some years under your belt.
