Been at PwC tax for a little more than a year. Thinking about switching to a smaller local firm for a better salary and something I would like to do. Due to the current market and the reduction of staff many firms are conducting, would this be a smart idea?

I recently did the same after 2.5 years with PwC. Better comp with the smaller firm, I’m learning more, good benefits, less stress. Also they are doing very well and paying bonuses. Even did an extra mid-year bonus after very strong performance through the 7/15 tax deadline. Life is good

TL;DR: Jump!

My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments
