Hey everyone has anyone switched to a diff big4? I am having issues on my team where they don’t think Im at level, but my team has not been good at feedback and or coaching I am an A2. I had been thinking of moving to another big 4 for awhile but being blindsided by where they think I am at, which I don’t necessarily agree with fully , is pushing me away more. Has anyone had a successful switch?

How long were you at PwC?

Do you have a pulse... any other top ten will happily take you!

You can certainly switch firms but if you are working towards a promotion, seems like switching teams might be a much better option. Learning curve at a new firm will probably set you back on progression so while you might get a bump in the short term, comp may end up less if you look out a year or two.
