Had 2 interviews this week and they went great, but have so much anxiety about actually leaving PwC. Why am I so scared?

I haven’t left because of the fear that comes with the fact that PwC is all I know. Straight out of college PwC is my first employer. And it is hard to muster the courage to make that change. But if you are already doing interviews, then you are almost there. Who knows if another firm will be better, but there is probably something that is pushing you out and hopefully a new beginning will be a positive change.

It’s true though, and I agree with M1’s reasoning if it’s your first job out of college. However, I can tell you’re not at a breaking point. If you’ve reached to a point of total burn out and zero fucks, you’ll no longer be scared about leaving

Because your bosses will find out and they might not trust you if you wind up staying

I’m in the same boat. Been at KPMG for over three years and have wanted to leave for over a year but am terrified and anxious.
You’re actually actively looking though so that’s an amazing sign!! You can do this. Chances are you can always go back after a couple of years. Be strong OP!!!

Maaaaan this is job #4. Just jump ship! If the grass isn’t greener jump again! Got a buddy who is a recruiter who says as long as you stay a year you’re good. FWIW my shortest job tenure was 2 years

Don’t be afraid of change. Go for it. If one firm is all you know you’ll be limited in your perspectives

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
