My only regret was not leaving sooner

Same!

I left Audit in one of the big 4 and joined consulting in another big 4. Consulting is so much better: better pay, less hours, work is harder for sure but more rewarding in my opinion… I do not regret leaving Audit.

Kinda. I came back. And needed to see if the grass was greener. But I regret that it put me back a couple years in progression

I also feel that way!

Nope. I stayed three years and felt it was the perfect time for me. It's so much better on the other side IMO.

What’s the best part about being on the other side? What role are you in if you don’t mind sharing?

Leaving a firm and PA in general was the best decision ever- and happened very early on my career

Not really. There's a reason why it happened back then and I'd probably do it again given the same situation

I wish I had stayed at BDO for the technology. It was top tier. But rhe work life balance was awful.
