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
