Taxperience: My way into tax consulting
Hi Tijana, how did you find out about Taxperience and Rödl & Partner and why did you apply?
Through friends and mainly through my own research, as I was deliberately looking for a program where I could immerse myself in different areas over a longer period of time in order to be able to determine in the future which area of tax law would be suitable for my future career.
How was your application process and how flexible were you able to organize your internship?
The application process went very quickly and without any problems. I was allowed to choose the departments I wanted to get to know better according to my interests. It was then suggested to me in which order I should start the slots in order to maintain a common thread. I chose a total of four slots for 1 ½ months each. I am currently gaining insights into the international & national structure consulting team (tax law I), followed by ongoing consulting, then tax transaction consulting (M&A) and finally international tax law III.
The Taxperience program helps me to set specific priorities in my studies by allowing me to get to know different areas better.

What opportunities does Taxperience offer you?
The Taxperience program helps me to set specific priorities in my studies by allowing me to get to know different areas better. You often don’t think things through at an early stage of your studies, but thanks to the many new contacts and discussions, I was able to weigh up my goals more clearly and make well-founded decisions.
What does a typical working day as an intern at Rödl & Partner look like?
Each day offers a welcome variety. I start work at 8.30am and finish at 5.30pm. In the mornings, I usually meet with my head of department to discuss various topics I have researched and then go through them with her. I am often shown client cases to learn from and consolidate my knowledge. I am in constant communication with my colleagues, who are always happy to help me with questions and take the time to answer them.
How would you describe Rödl & Partner in 3 words?
Stimulating, inspiring, authentic.
Do you already know what will happen after your internship?
I am very much looking forward to being taken on as a working student in the field of national & international structural consulting, as I have acquired an advantageous foundation through the Taxperience program, which will prove to be very helpful in my future work as a working student.
How nice, congratulations! To whom and for what reasons would you recommend Taxperience?
The internship really helped me to weigh up which areas I would like to go into later and how my career will progress with regard to my studies. I would recommend the program to anyone who is undecided about their career choice, needs support in setting a focus or wants to get to know a completely new area.
Thank you very much for the interview, Tijana.
