Why scared to leave? Today was my last day and I am so ecstatic

@EY4 - 4 years left as senior. Really do miss it at times. If I had my CPA I would have most likely stayed alittle longer but really didn't want to be manager. I'm glad I did leave when I did because going private opened my eyes to how much real accounting work we miss out on.

I wasn't afraid to leave, left, and now I want back. Do I regret it? Of course not! Live and learn. It's your life - don't be afraid to see if you like something better.

Also OP I hear you on that, I know a lot of people end up coming back, etc. I agree if you don't know specifically what you want to do I'd stay a bit. You'll get a ton of experience in a lot of different areas, industries, service lines, etc when you are with the big4. But if you've made the decision of what you want to do and you see the opportunity for it I wouldn't be afraid to go after it.

@pwc1 congrats!! Enjoy the life

Agreed with the above post - hold out for the best opportunity/employer - that way even if you get stuck at least it's a great place to be!

I left this year too and during my downtime always think about coming back

Really KMPG 1? How many years in PA when you left?
