Anyone know someone who moved from BigLaw to BigFour consulting? What’s the major differences, other than I assume a large paycut?

Curious as well, especially pay.

The pay cut won’t be as significant if going into International (ITS) or M&A.

I have worked both. Culture and hours aren't too much different if you are going into International or Federal Tax where I have worked. Pay is definitely lower, but not so drastic that it isn't worth considering.

Friend’s goal is to keep the income for a little longer, but to minimize conflict / headaches. What’s the best move here? Wait until EOY and take the severance? Give 6 / 9 / 12 months’ notice now? Is there such a thing as too much notice? Could too much notice backfire?
