Experience level: Junior

Tax Consultant
Pros: Fantastic exposure, good learning environment, autonomy given at a junior level, big clients and fast progression if you are capable, very good colleagues, minimal office politics as progression is based on individual merit and not how many vacancies are in the level above you, One of the few big 4s that actually "tries" (at least on paper) to give employees a work-life balance e.g. EY 5-at-5
Cons: Terrible working hours, minimal benefits, partners/seniors often too busy to teach you, learning is trial-by-fire so if you are not a very quick learner you could be in for a "sink-or-swim" situation
