No regrets. Best? Depends on the person

Depends on the group, but advisory is the way to go. From associate to manager I've consistently made a lot more money than audit/tax counterparts and work A LOT less than they do.

Agreed with EY1. But prob not gps tho

If you are in audit, then consider switching to FDD. Great pay and interesting work that always changes.

I have seen BB IB exits and front office PE. It’s doable but rare

FDD/Deal Advisory

Why?

It would be really helpful if there is anyone is hiring for such roles or if you can refer to those roles in your organization. TIA :)

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
