If you think Big4 may not be for you but you still want to use your accounting degree I'd definitely recommend that you take a look at some of the opportunities available in the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, or other federal agencies. They are often trying to recruit people with accounting experience for agent and non- agent positions.

which firms are still hiring seniors in the west for accounting advisory type roles?

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago.

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...
