Hi everyone,
I’m a third-year accounting student who is currently deciding between a career in audit vs. tax. Although there are many benefits to going the audit route, I’m beginning to think that tax will better suit my interests. I’ve already gone through recruiting with the Big 4 for their summer leadership programs, and got the opportunity to speak with some international tax accountants at one of the firms. As someone interested in global trade, transfer pricing, and export/import management, this specialization seems really interesting to me. I’m wondering if working in this area is something I can do right away at a Big 4, or if I have to be a general tax staff for a few years before entering this arena. Any insight from professionals familiar with international tax would be helpful!
