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

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
