Hi all. Wanted to see what general thoughts are about moving from big 4 FDD to A&M TAS. The compensation structure and culture that A&M sells are appealing, but want to know if there are any significant downsides to leaving the big 4.
A bit of background: I am currently an FDD associate (~2 years of exp) that will likely be promoted to senior this upcoming promotion cycle. I like the work that I do but don’t care much about working for massive PE or F100 clients. Would this move be worth it?

It's like 90% of our TAS/TAG practice is built on ex-Big 4. Haven't seen anyone move the other way.

The only potential downside is we are very lean so you might not have some of the infrastructure of big 4 but we pay higher salaries as a result.

Stop thinking about it right now and just go, you’ll be laughing at your big4 self for not making the move sooner as soon as you leave

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
