Big 4 TAS or Top Bank Rotational Program
I need help choosing between 2 offers (both in NYC).
First offer: BIG 4 TAS/Audit rotation. For first 2-3 years spend 9 months in audit and 3 months in TAS. After that is over go full time to TAS with rotations throughout the different service lines. Pay is in higher 50's to start with the CPA contingent bonus, and possible end of year bonus. Would start this job in 10 months.
Second offer: 2 year, 4 job rotational program at one of the world's largest banks but in back office positions. Once that is over enter the firm as a senior analyst which comes with a significant pay increase. Pay is initially in the low 60's but comes with relocation bonus and there should be a smaller, but larger than BIG 4, end of year bonus. Start the job in 3 months.
My career goal is to do corporate development or work at a boutique PE/IB shop. I know BIG 4 TAS/TS is likely the better career path, but the lower pay for what is likely to be the first 5 years or so, and the 7-month later start date of the BIG 4 offer is leading me to favor the corporate banking job. I'm also worried about labeling myself as an accounting. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks.
Lower pay for the first five years would easily be offset by higher pay in the future if tas provides for better exit opps/career path. I know it's tough, but you have to think long-run and look past the first/second year salary.
I'm interested in knowing which Big 4 has that rotational. I feel like they'd attract a lot more qualified candidates if they had the TAS possibility to dangle in front of them.
EY has the rotational program. KPMG hires more new hires straight into TS.
PWC has the "Transactions 360°"program in my home country which allows you to get experience in three out of their four Transactions service lines (M&A, TS, RX, Valuation). I guess they are offering something comparable in the US? Pretty cool imho, but unfortunately the pay just sucks too much at the Big4..
