税务转咨询机会大吗？

moonlite1016

本人刚毕业, 拿到四大税务offer ,可是长远来说很想做咨询, 如果工作2,3年以后再读一个MBA, 是否容易转咨询呢？

税务工作对咨询有没有帮助啊？ 

三十以后

it's possible, but you don't necessary have advantage (maybe just a bit), the key is to get into a top 15 B-school and practise case interview then.

Agree~~ and it depends more on how well you learn and improve yourself during your 2-3 years as a tax consultant instead of whether or not being a tax consultant

这个可以具体说说么？how well I learned as a tax consultant?要WELL到什么程度呢？考下资格认证有用么？

另外在英国的税务经验，对于去美国做CONSULTING，有帮助么？

谢谢！

去美国做咨询，个人理解名校和MBA比较重要，倒是英国对学位不是很看重。

Be a top performer: getting the qualification (CPA > CTA), gaining expertise / experience in a wide-range of tax & legal areas (corporate law, corporate tax planning, international tax, M&A and probably most importantly, accounting), and naturally getting top rating and top pay

Besides the above hard skills, soft skills in project management, presentation, team building and client relationship management could also been learned and refined when you are in the role of (senior) tax consultant before you go to b-school.

税务不好转咨询的！审计比较好转一些！

至少4大的咨询部（M&A为主），都是从审计满3年后转过去的！

Auditors might find it easier to transfer to M&A advisory of Big 4 than tax consultants do. However, it might not be the case for transfering to more general&strategic consulting firms. In terms of soft skills, I think the position of a tax advisor could prepare a candidate better for a consultant role in general - just personal view

Having said the above, it is still not common for either auditors or tax consultants to transfer to strategic consulting firms even after MBA. However, this does not mean there is no chance~~ actually, I believe one of the major reasons behind is that most MBAs with big 4 background choose to focus on finance and try to pursue IB opportunities after graduation instead of corporate strategy and consulting. In other words, if you can do well with your tax consultant role (as I elaborated before), get into a top MBA program, and keep focusing on strategy and consulting opportunities, I believe you will have good chance to break into strategic consulting post your MBA education.
