Leaving D is the best decision, trust me, if you don't will remember these words when things are bad....

I did this recently for 20% and 40 hour weeks with no travel. Not sure I made the right choice. I'm a lunatic and miss the chaos.

Same C1. I think it would work better it I was married with kids and needed that work-life balance. When I say I'm thinking about going back to the Big 4, people look at me like I'm nuts. Maybe we'll just always want what we don't have! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sometimes I miss the D - the challenges, the pedigree, feeling like I was better than everyone else - but then I remember that all my super talented, sane, rational friends are already long gone and all the people who are left are the persistent assholes that drove everyone else out. At least I got that lifetime status though! 🏆

@C1 and AC1, Agree, nobody is hapoy with what we have. I'm waiting to hear back for next steps but if I get a good offer I'll make the change...

@AC1 Good for you 👍👍👍👍

@D1 you're totally right
