Got recruited from a boutique firm to one of the big 4. How to put in two weeks with grace? Love my manager but not the lack of standard processes or processes in general. Any advice on a bittersweet two weeks notice?

First of all congrats! Having bittersweet feelings about your place you're leaving can be seen as a privilege - it's better than absolutely hating the place. I don't think this is too tough but also doesn't have to be a whole production. Something like "It's been a great X years, but I've decided to pursue a new opportunity. I really appreciate blah blah blah" Sounds like you had a good manager so they should be happy for you.

They were so happy for me! Thank you for the advice! I hope my new boss is just as wonderful. 🤞

Seems like EY would have an exodus of employees post-split. We will get randomly assigned to assureCo vs newCo by leadership and expecting many people going to assureCo will try to flee to other B4 especially for senior and lower level.

Hey folks, how many of you in Big 4 here and what are the other firms that we have representation from ?
I will start EY :)

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

So after some research here, reddit, goingconcern, glassdoor, etc. I've put this info together:

!! The salary grid below is for Big 4 Audit, HCOL (NYC,SF), gross amounts without bonus !!

Of course they can be higher or lower by a few k's on each position depending on impact tier, but I tried to look for average amounts.
If you have information please post it so we can update.
