I left EY three years ago after spending almost 10 years at the firm.I left for an amazing opportunity doing a job in industry that I really wanted, that paid way beyond my dreams, etc. As I approached my final days at EY, I was sad. I had spent so many years there and had so many good friends and colleagues. But I knew that ultimately the new job was better for me.
Three years have taught me this. I am so glad I left. I made the right decision. I am still in touch with my friends and colleagues at EY. I am happier and healthier now. It’s hard to make a big change like this, but do what you know is right for you!!

I’m in international tax planning for a FAANG. If you work for any of the tech companies, you will get paid a lot because they pay with equity and their stocks do so well. Then to stay competitive on the west coast, other companies pay similarly.
If you haven't asked about benefits, vacation policy, or 401k match. I would just to see if they are close or beat your previous employer.
It would be hard to find anywhere with worse benefits than big 4. The only bonus is vacation days which EY no longer has anyway.
Having EY on your resume will get you interviews throughout your career. Having strong references from your colleges at EY will get you great offers. Make a list of who they references might be. Between.now and when you leave, conduct yourself in a manner that will increase your likelihood of them returning a call from a reference request and sharing a positive sentiment.
You have spent your whole career at EY so it is normal to have those feelings. I just accepted a similar position and also had those same feelings. I am sad to say goodbye but excited for the future!! 🥳
Been at my firm for 10+ years (since school) and have the same feelings and same opportunity.
It’s natural, I had the same feelings when I left my first and second jobs. Having similar feelings gearing up to leave my third job (shortest of all 3) to go back to the second.
