Hey Chris!
Im a 4th year Accounting Student in Ontario! I have a high average and was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma this fall (for academic excellence).
Your videos are inspiring and they allow me to ask myself a lot of questions about what I want for my future.
I, myself, am struggling with the decision between Tax and Audit. Beyond that, Im also trying to determine if Big4 is the right decision or if I should go to a small-to-mid size firm for a better work-life-balance. So many decisions!
I hope you can provide some wisdom that I can use for my future!!! Thanks!

Thanks for this fantastic video. I'm at the end of my degree and I think tax will be the way to go for me. I'll do some more research but it's my gut feeling that tax will work better for me.

If you're someone who likes to work individually and by themselves, this this is the career for you. Sold.

Brother i have worked for the SALT team for 1120 returns for a big 4. Trust me it's crazy, there's hardly a constant. With more than 50 states and other small territories, each tax form is different, no 2 jurisdictions are the same, each with their own rules. Seperate returns are quite simple and easy, but doing combined returns for SALT is crazy.

What if you enjoy working in both teams and independently? How does this influence your choice between applying for an audit intern or tax intern?

I am strongly considering a change from tax to audit. But for my firm, my managers tell me I can only do it after a couple years in tax. How easy it is to transfer from a tax associate from audit associate in the big four?

Hey Chris, I have a quick question for you. If I choose tax, how necessary is it to get a Masters in Taxation? I would like to get to work instead of going back to school. If I apply at a mid-size company, will they still accept me with a Bachelor's? Thanks for the help!

What are the chances of you getting a full time offer in a tax internship (I’m going to have one occur in Spring 2025)? If you work hard, do you get it? Or is it harder to get a full time in tax compared to audit?

If you are in India, think twice before joining the big 4 firms, there is no work life balance. Better go to Wells Fargo, Ryan LLC

I've noticed the importance of 'tax' in accounting as it came up about 5 times.

I'm final year finance undergraduate of University of Colombo. I get a opportunity to work as Tax trainee at KPMG. I have a doubt whether my degree is suitable for Tax position and whether I can achieve a good salary while working in the Tax sector.

I am torn, I have done an internship with tax at a big four and I like it but I don’t love it. I don’t know how to decide if I should switch to audit or not.. I am more social and like to talk

Why do auditors get yelled at? Aren’t the auditors basically the boss who reports company’s?
