Made the jump 2 years ago and have never regretted it. Was willing to accept an accounting manager position (from first year Sr Mgr at Big4) since salary was still higher and growth opportunities existed. Got promoted twice in those two years. I personally feel it would have been more difficult to leave for an industry role if I stayed any longer. I currently work for a smaller public company. Lots of interesting challenges all the time.

Don’t want to think the grass is always greener on the other side, but I’ve seen so many people made the move to EY from other big 4 and they make much more than I do because of the switch (same city same service line same level).

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are.

Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
