My two cents: I’d avoid GT like the plague. But it depends on the office, I was there for a few years and was in a really toxic office.

As someone who did not exit from the big 4, I can tell you that you'll regret it.

I exited Big4 for a 20% bump and promotion at a Top10 and it was the worst career decision of my life.

You only get one opportunity to leave the Big4 - you've put in 3 years, leverage that to get what you want (assuming you don't want to do public forever).
