Has anyone been poached from one big 4 to another and regret their career choice? Not saying I wanted to stay at my old firm but wish I would have stayed long enough to plan a better exit and leave consulting in general

Yes. Moved from Deloitte to KPMG.

The people I know who've worked at both liked KPMG better. Do you regret from an industry exit standpoint?

Left Deloitte once for Accenture (I know not a big 4) was a huge mistake never do that

Deloitte no question. Privately owned not public, the internal tools (booking a desk, expensing, timesheets,travel, etc) make Accenture look 15-20 years behind. Pension and a 401k. Week long firm shutdown for both Christmas-NYE week and also 4th of July week. I had raises and bonuses every performance cycle. Wasn’t a superstar just a solid employee. It’s not a question of like it’s just facts one is better than the other.

I got poached from tech

uplifting

Still a dream to get poached but skillset lack.
Does not match the Industry standards also the salary 😅

I had an offer from KPMG but my current job has a lot of KPMG leader transplants and they are tyrants.

How do you even tell the difference between B4 firms? They are literally interchangeable

Come join us and find out 🙃

So go back?

I don’t want to go back. I want to generally exit consulting but need to stay until promotion and then reassess exit opportunities

I also want to exit consulting. What are you branching out into?
