No they’re probably happier than me tbh
No. Why should I look down on anyone?
They’re the first people I ever worked with at Deloitte. I feel terribly insecure anytime I think of them. I don’t work with them anymore, but they also made remarks like: this service line is for bros, not women. For reference, I didn’t start in the 1920s, I started 5 years ago.
No if they’re at least a senior
Pro
Not at all. They usually make more than me and have a better shot at making partner.
No. People at smaller firms work just as hard. It’s a myth that they don’t. Also, I started at B4, left, and then came back. I learned a ton of things that I wouldn’t have, had I not gone to a smaller firm. People at B4 aren’t always as smart as they think they are.
Same amount of work with less resources. And I had less control over the type of work I wanted to do.
No I envy them sometimes. It takes courage to choose quality of life over the B4 tag on your title.
I’ve had friends who did the same thing. They wanted to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond. They felt stalled out at KPMG. I get it, and I admired their courage for taking control of their careers and choosing something different. It worked for their quality of life too. They tell me the culture is different at smaller firms. Less back stabbing. More collaborative. I’ve spent 20 years here so I’ll finish it out, but I totally get why it isn’t for everyone.
If they left B4 audit/tax just to go do the same thing somewhere else - I don’t look down on them but I do wonder why they didn’t just jump to industry instead. If they left for advisory/consulting at a smaller firm - props to them. Every person I’ve seen do this is years ahead in terms of pay and career progression than their peers who stayed in B4
Why?
I have heard a lot of: they didn’t belong here, they weren’t cut out for B4, etc A lot of snide remarks from insecure people who lack so much personality that they make they derive their self worth by working long hours and their career.
