Has anyone considered quitting as a senior, getting a masters, and starting at a different firm as a first year “fresh out of school?” Do you think knowing what you know now would help you?

Why in the world would you ever do that?

That is an awful idea lol. Why move backwards and receive less money?

I literally can’t see a single benefit of doing that

I think they mean as a “fresh out of school” MBA, in which case, they’re probably in a strategy practice or making 2x what a staff with just undergrad would be.

And I think about it all the time and am actively pursuing it

If you’re already a senior, it’s not like you would “start over” as a staff 1. You would be an experienced hire Senior at the next firm

If you think an MBA is going to double your salary you live in a world outside of reality. Once you have a CPA no one gives a dam about an MBA.

Get in a top 10 MBA for sure. Audit has no future. As long as you hit Senior, leave.

I think that is the worst idea ever...

Getting a CPA doesn’t negate the benefits of a MBA. I have a CPA and can’t get hired in consulting because I don’t have an MBA or industry experience, so if I didn’t want to have to leave to go to industry, I can’t make the switch

I have an MBA and I am also a CPA, I do not believe my MBA adds value to my salary.

I’m not in audit and would never get a CPA @KPMG3. If I go top 10 or even 20 it probably will almost double my salary

Yeah if you’re going to a top 10/20 MBA school, you need to hop out of audit and put it to use

This is definitely an option, but smart networking/learning on your own could help you start over without going back to school

Pretty highly rated consistently and up for director this year. For years been thinking of starting a business (franchise). Pandemic has put a dent in that but still viable option.

What other factors should I consider when evaluating staying to partner or trying my hand as an entrepreneur?

Thoughts on a late 1st year going in-house? I'm getting close to an offer with a decent corp, in a dream location (Miami) with equal or slightly increased salary (cravath scale). My story is unique because I had significant experience prior to law school that makes me somewhat marketable to the company. While I'm well aware of my limited practice knowledge, I don't feel like I'm actually learning in my current role anyway. I also have zero interest in making partner. Is this too soon to jump?
