I am trying to do the same. Just got an offer from Cisco. Moving from Big4 but in NY. Still deciding whether I should go or not.

I have done it in the past - moved from Big4 to industry. It's a big lifestyle change - better or worse depends on what you're looking for.
Industry is a 9-5 desk job - great for WLB one might say but can get pretty mundane too. Industry also has modest pay hikes each year and bonus may be much smaller than Big4. Eventually I realized it wasn't for me, and made my way back to Big4.

I don’t have experience in either but doesn’t Boeing have a big Chicago presence?

No. They have only 500 employees here. And they are moving some of those positions to the DC area to be closer to the department of defense.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
