If you are looking at tas, work on a switch within bdo to their tas group as well. Quickly becoming the number one mid tier group and a doable switch if you are highly regarded employee. Big 4 will be a little harder, but doable

Hi,
Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years. I was in public accounting for almost 5 years prior and stepped away as a supervising senior in audit for a mid tier firm. Would love to get a chance to connect/network with some people.
