If this is your career, proceed cautiously. Titles mean little. You can go to a bank and be an assistant senior vice president tomorrow. Small firms can be good but they can also suck. Just remember. This is a marathon. Not a sprint.

PwC that's what I was thinking .. go to small firm put my time in and comeback as a senior manager .. obviously I won't be making as much as a manager at big 4 but I'll be ahead by couple years when it comes to title change .. I'm currently second year senior and in federal practice so promotion to manager usually takes 4 years

Sounds good. The smaller firm may offer you more learning opportunities and maybe you will get more $$ when you decide to boomerang to pwc

hmm.

What do you want in the long run career-wise and what's at stake (e.g. supporting a family, head of house, etc)?

Smart!

I have a lot of friends that have done that. I'm about to do it right now lol. I've seen lateral people come in at director from SM too. I think it depends on the needs, networking and exp. but a good move!

Chase $$ and not titles... and in this case you're getting both! Most companies ask for your current pay level anyway so it's not like you're ever realistically getting a huge raise by 'cheating' the system.

Recently left the Big4 without a job lined up. I’m hearing all my friends talking about busy season woes and I’m so grateful to not be in that position. I keep thinking of the long hours and it’s making me not want to job hunt. I’ve been looking at industry related tax roles, and generally like accounting but am open to exploration. Is there any such role that gives good comp, great work/life balance (I don’t even wanna be near 60 hours), and overall interesting role/company?
