Advice time - I’m a SC at EY w/ 4 YOE. Finance transformations within insurance and banking. Once I make promotion to Manager, I’d like to consider jumping ship to a smaller tech start up. Primary reason being quicker growth and equity earlier in my career.

Has anyone been in similar shoes that would be willing to toss out a few pointers or lessons learned along the way? I love it at EY and could see myself staying long term. I guess it’s just a “grass is maybe greener” mentality.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell did I do wrong.
I didn’t even think he was that good back then 😂.

He is a nice guy tho and I’m happy for him and for whoever will be working for him.
