Considering move from PwC to KPMG. I know people in the same LOS at KPMG and they mentioned that they have better work life balance/salary. I am a second year senior associate in SALT in the Raleigh, NC area. Current salary is 105k. What should I expect moving firms?

A few bucks is not a great reason to move at the senior level. You should be thinking about where you will get the best experience/learn the most so that you are more valuable later in your career (where the real money is earned). When you jump firms you have to relearn systems/firm procedures and rebuild relationships. If you don’t like your current line of service, partners, or teams, then sure, but don’t make short-sighted move for what will seem like peanuts in a few years.

If you have a path to Manager for mid year or next June I would try to stick it out until then. You may end up spending a year or two longer as a SA at KPMG if you move now.

Boomerangs are common so it’s a low risk move as long as you don’t burn bridges on your way out.

In a similar situation. Following.

Jumped from public to a job in a place run by boomers but I just wanted out of public so I took the first offer that came to me. 5 months in and I realized it's not a good fit at all. Mainly the CFO thinks no one should be working from home, and working from anywhere but the office is considered a day off to him. Is this a good reason to apply for other jobs right now?
