Hello,

I really like the blog. I am starting at KPMG in the Fall of 2007 (I am currently a Senior in college). How soon do you think I should ask to do a rotation into another service line? I am currently scheduled to do external audit, but the way you describe TAS and the growth in the Private Equity Group, I am wondering if I should also try some other service lines to see what I like.

One again, nice blog.

KPMG is the weakest of the Big 4 with respect to Transaction Services and they have no presence among the Mega PE Funds. PwC, E&Y and D&T dominae the private equity space.
