I would say 50% is gone within several years. Pretty much at least 80% that join public accounting is gone within 5 years. So yes. Public accounting is not for everyone.

Other than non-Big 4 to Big 4, not getting along with co-workers, or service line change, I don’t think I know anyone whom switch between PA firms for other reasons.

Salaries are so similar among the firms, it is not worth jumping around.

Hello, I am a Linux system engineer and have been working in Oracle engineered systems from past 10 years. I got some exposure to oracle cloud but it is so difficult to get more exposure in oracle projects to build knowledge and my experience. In the Job portals , its so rare recruiters asking for oracle cloud. Looks like canada do not have much oracle projects. Hence I learned AWS. Want to make use of my knowledge but how?B4 Advisory teams do not have good oracle practice. Agree?
