I love industry.. would not go back to PA for any reason. I like the interaction with peers that are your age in PA. In industry I feel like the personnel I work are much easier to handle and talk to than the new staff coming in from college. In PA it also felt like someone was always out to get you and unnecessary drama was spread through the staff.

OP, I feel ya. However, I'm using the situation to my advantage to get promoted faster, get bigger bonuses and raises. Working good so far. I say go get involved with an outside group, doing whatever it is you want to do, that has a lot of younger people to make up the difference.

I don't love industry, but I dislike public. The only part of your statement that I agree with is that people in public are younger.

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
