Back then I considered MAP programs in banks but was told that banks have a political working environment and progression is unclear. I was previously an audit intern and was told that big 4 audit has better career progression and this went along with that idea.
Guess I drank the kool aid.

Bank is more political for sure, and you have to put in effort to get your final placement. That being says, remuneration wise even without considering the hours, banks would have been a lot better.

First year associate? Please wait for a few more years. You can probably try to aim for a secondment to other functions in 2nd year senior - manager. Most people get such opportunities in their AM - manager year. It is neither that your YOE in department A is valuable nor the company is being nice and want to enable internal mobility.
Secondment to overseas, or from audit> tax and vice versa could be more common and that typically happens in first year manager year. Besides the usual overseas secondment, secondment to other functions (advisory) is more of a carrot to entice the person to give 1 more year of hard work. The thinking is that if you have been a good employee, why not con you to stay another year and see if we can keep you within the firm.
Typically, this may depend on a few things: (1) The other team is ok with giving you a chance, (2) you are ok with the terms and conditions. Might see grade/pay progression stalling depending on the function you went to, (3) You are in a big enough job with a powerful enough partner, and the team needs you that year for whatever reason.
I have seen partner promised (and eventually delivered) secondment to "more prestigious" functions like corporate finance after the person gave notice. But this is rare. Usually, it needs you to be good enough + long waiting time (audit dept is not gonna release you easily) + passing the interview at the other team.

Understand that for tax, the ranking of Big 4 is EY > KPMG > PwC > Deloitte
Currently have an offer from Deloitte Corporate Tax. But Is Deloitte really that bad for tax?

You cannot accept the offers that you do not have. Go with what you have.
All big4 do the same work. Usual more of a case of maybe less clients? At least you never see people whining about Deloitte here. :P

Possible to transfer within 6 months? Somemore there is also a lack of manpower (audit > tax or vice versa) so why can’t con people to transfer instead of ppl leaving to fulfill their experience.

Yeah but isn’t that a waste of time? And what if it is not guaranteed to transfer after a year ? - speaking from A1 point of view
