Kind of depends what you want. Big 4 usually means more F500 public type companies; smaller would be more like midsize/small private companies. Might be easier to make partner at a smaller place but also would likely make less too. Work/life balance I really am not sure how they compare- I think we all assume its better at a smaller firm but that might not necessarily be true.
