For those that stuck with your starting firm for more than a decade, what made you stay? Getting a little uneasy knowing all the firings that are going to happen in a week or two.

What firings?

Headcount onshore has to go down to accommodate the higher usage of offshoring

Relocation- from India to Canada (becoming a PR and then citizen) and now the US with Green Card. For reference, I work with EY and I believe we’re the most integrated Big 4. Next stop for me is Germany if GOD is willing.

Firings happen all the time. It’s not a function of the firm but part of corporate America. Big4 are finally accepting firing is healthy.

I’ve been with KPMG 13 years. Enjoy the firm and the work. I stick around because it gives me opportunities to see things outside of my day to day.

I've never been so excited yet so nervous for a role.
