This is just anecdotal and a very narrow perspective but i do work as an intern at a 20 person local public accounting firm. Disregard for big4,public, audit, TS etc but vanilla tax at a small firm is extremely plain. You are mostly just tossing around paperwork and filling in Xs and Os with no human contact for hours. Extremely repetitive (also you asked about math, none involved really.. crunching a few numbers into a calculator for ratios at most). On the otherhand, jobs are plenty, pay is decent. From what i've heard i would try to persuit a job at a big4, you get a name on your resume, more varied/challenging work and theres a lot more room for progressive (especially outside public accounting, if you want to move into industry).
