This. Not only do they exist but boomerangs are common. A lot of times boomerangs are seen as bringing more to table to clients as compared to lifers by having other experience.

It’s definitely a grass is always greener type thing. There’s pros / cons to both sides. The key is to figure out which one has more pros for you personally. Seems obvious, but can be difficult to do in practice since there’s so many assumptions you have to make.

No, left to the top ten firm and it was way more chill… until after about a year of PE. So might jump down again depending on how things go over the next 6 months.

Wanna try career in FP&A ?
Look at the following FP&A roles, responsibilities and career path.

If you could manage to pull your socks up then someday you might see yourself at C-suite level.

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.

I need to get out of EY and I’ve known for a while but I’m terrified to start somewhere from scratch and not be good at it. I’ve been with EY Assurance NYC for 7 years and I was just rated “above peers” so I know I can stay here for a while but I’m pretty miserable. How did people in this position finally decide it was time to go? Any regrets or advice on how to navigate this?

What level and service line were you at the big 4, and what percent salary increase did you get once you left? I’m a S1>S2, and the offers I’m seeing are around 10%-15% higher, which feels a little low. But maybe I’m being unrealistic.

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
