Anyone at a accounting firm that is more focused on high quality work and giving their people a work life balance vs high growth? Seems like PE is pushing all these firms to grow faster than their teams can manage.

Dealing with the same. Firm used to be known for great workplace culture and work life balance. Now it’s just another grind-you-down PA firm. Hope you find something

I’m sure all PE firms are saying they are focused on both at the same time, which is impossible to accomplish.

Switching to a company that's PE owned is a small nightmare and a huge mistake on my part. But I guess I have a job (was doing independent contracts for almost a year). The demands are unreasonable and there's almost no long term vision. Just loot or sell. I'd rather just flip burgers somewhere.

As much as I agree, is this really any differentin non-PE owned firms?

YES. PE is an unsustainable nightmare. You don't know what you had until it's gone.

One year in NYC—24, enjoyed myself, but no deep connections with new friends/partners. Came to hopefully open the door on a variety of opportunities, but something tells me that spending another year here will not help that. Money flies, space is cramped, not thrilled with my office, hate winter. I miss LA a lot—I miss driving, the weather, the space, people...but everyone tells me I have to give NYC at least 2 years. Thoughts?
