Working in M&A will also help you develop your professional, technical and managerial skills rapidly. You will receive responsibility early and will find yourself working closely with other like minded professionals from the transaction services, corporate finance and other UK and non-UK tax teams, as well as with external lawyers, bankers and market advisers.
The M&A team of this Big 4 play a variety of roles. These vary from pivotal ones, requiring a unique knowledge of relevant deal structures - a knowledge you will need to be able to communicate clearly to all parties - to advisory positions, where you may be called upon to comment on proposed structures and requirements from a tax perspective.
A wide variety of clients and deal types and size ensures that the experience you gain will be extremely wide, involving all aspects of tax (and non-tax) work.
