If accountants could, why wouldn’t they? A far more interesting field, while making more at every level (yes, including partner).

I knew a couple people that made the move but they were extremely smart, and in our strategy consulting arm. Imagine going from making $200k from EY-P to $300k while working less hours at Google. They get free food too, sigh
