Nah just put in your notice. Your team won’t remember you after a week.
You are very easily replaceable lol, dont stress just leave with 2 weeks notice.
As long as you give 2 weeks notice, you should be fine. Your team has enough transition time
Just leave bruh don’t listen to EY1….. if the firm could get someone to do your job for half the cost and found out in January they would let you go with no hesitation.
… ok lol
Only if you don’t plan on ever working at the firm again
Despite what other comments say, the accounting world is a very small one. I was in a similar situation (almost identical) as you, but waited until after busy season to make the switch.
Even though I won’t go back to audit, I know that I could call them up and I’d have a job that day because of the way I handled my transition
Trust me, maintaining motivation during busy season while actively interviewing for positions is hard. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t change anything though
Also, have u looked into accounting advisory? Feel like TAS is glorified audit. Ya it’s more pay, but the “busy seasons” are less predictable. Obviously it’s your career, but happy to help with a potential referral to FAAS at EY if you’re looking for more pay/better WLB than transaction advisory
Appreciate your insight. I definitely recognize that I put my relationships here at high risk by making this move, which is unfortunate. Kudos to you for sticking it through in your case.
I understand that FAAS/AAS generally has better WLB but I’m not really hung on on WLB and also want to position myself in a place where I might be a bit more likely to eventually land a role in IB if I decide to take that route. But I do appreciate the offer again
