Anyone ever think that the extra pay bump you’d receive from working in private industry, if invested YOY, far exceeds the raises and compensation from working in public accounting?

I guess depends on how long you stay in public. Retire a partner at B4 and I believe their pensions are mid-six figures

Unless you plan to getting to VP/CFO (which are probably comparable in terms of stress but not time) , youll make more money in public if you get to partner in 12-15. This depends how young you are I guess, but working as a partner for 15 years can be very lucrative.

Question is, is that additional money worth sacrificing your family and personal life for? Complete value judgment there. For some people it is.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
