The reason i want to leave is because i have been here 7 years and think ive devoted enough time and resources to make this job ‘ work’, i have great ratings year on year but feel like ive learnt little to no tangible skills. The path to SM looks daunting and long

Personally I'm leaving for better WLB (been with company for 1 yr). It's a 20% increase in base than current salary going back to previous employer but different department. Want to leave door open to come back in a year or so if it doesn't work as expected. Suggestions?

Can’t speak for what it’s like to quit, but talk to people your network about the challenges you’re having and see how others have managed. You might have more options than you think. I know I’ve made it work with two small kids by charting my own path a bit... I wouldn’t have thought that would be an option without having talked to a bunch of moms at the firm, deciding what would work best for me, then just doing it (versus waiting for someone to give me a “solve” or quitting). It’s a tough job to manage with kids, so quitting might be the right thing for you — I’d just urge you to explore before making a decision

You likely have an answer already in your mind.. leaving is sometimes very hard but as usual..if the economics + opportunities > staying, then it likely makes sense but you’ll have to build your network and reputation from scratch again (which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing either). Good luck OP!

There is not right answer here. In big 4 it will depend on your practice, teams and client. I’ve had light engagements and other very heavy load engagements. Depends why you feel like you need to leave. If it’s workload I assume it’s the same at all big4s. If it’s culture you have to see which fits you most. If you feel you need to leave big 4 all together then try to be sure you know what u want and where your going before you make the move. But whichever it is, make the best out of it

I’m not from Deloitte, but most firms will take you back if you leave on good terms. There are plenty of boomerangs! Do what’s right for you

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
