Portland market here. GT portland is a dumpster fire from a workload standpoint. KPMG, Moss Adams are the largest firms in the city, followed up by Deloitte, PwC. EY barely has a presence and GT is the only other top 10 with a significant presence. There are regional/local firms larger than GTs presence.

I did some work with that office when I was at GT, and I would’ve followed their managing partner into battle. The audit team is a little lean, so you’ll definitely feel the work pressure, and there’s a lot of resource-sharing with the Seattle office, so you might be traveling.
