Exploring the idea of moving to the West Coast (LA, SD, SEA) I’ve been in Philadelphia 90% of my adult life and feel like I’m getting too comfortable. 26M- most likely switching to another firm. Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated!

NJ to LA here. Spend sometime thinking about what you look for in a change. SD and SEA are as a different as PHL and ATL are.

Timing is perfect for you, better to experience a change now

Go explore while you can work remotely while at D. Spend the winter in LA/SD and see if you like it. Consider not switching firms until you find a place you like, so you're not stuck if you have to go to an office or maybe client.

Ok, then leave asap, especially if you are just jumping between big 4.
