Senior Tax Accountant
Pros: EY offers you a variety of great work opportunities specially in the tax department. When you start right off college, you get put in a diversified group which means you get to work with a variety of teams and different projects so you gain a base of tax knowledge on various things such as partnership, corporation, qualitative services, international, state and local tax. After three years, you specialize in a group but you already have a bit of knowledge on various tax areas. You work mostly with young professionals that are willing to coach you. I've had really good experiences with people and projects.
Cons: The more you advance the more demanding it gets, meaning you have to work more and more hours. Since public accounting is driven on chargeable hours, your utilization becomes the center of your life so you have to constantly be charging hours to make the goal for the year. Your promotion and bonus is dependent on that.
