Has anyone made the move to Big 4 as a manager from a mid tier firm (Crowe, BDO, GT, RSM, Baker Tilly)? If so, how was your experience? What are the pros and cons? I have an EY interview coming up and I’m interested if outside managers can adapt to Big 4 and what the risk of pending Big 4 layoffs could mean for me. Please include the firm you left and the firm you went to!

I left GT for EY as a manager. Honestly, the grass isn’t greener. If I could do it again I’d just stay put until I was ready to leave public.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
