Anyone switched from Big 4 to mid-tier accounting firm? I've been wanting to switch teams to do more specialized tax work, but internal transfer sounds so hard due to covid, and also moving to another big4 is very unlikely atm due to hiring freeze. Also wanting to know how hard it is to bounce back to big4 if I dont like the experience. Tax Senior here

OP: I did the same thing when I was a senior at DT. I went to a mid tier and for 4 years, I was super happy until a nasty partner was hired there. I then went to EY and have been there for 7 years. I want to go back to mid tier again. I had a solid job being lined up right before the COVID but the pandemic put a hold on it. I will talk to my contact again once the pandemic is over to see if we will continue the discussions. Good luck op.

Had a friend switch from Big4 SALT to mid tier ITS. This was before covid though.

He seems to enjoy it, but he also has a law degree. Not sure if that helped.
