Prettyyyy normal. We had 3 leave in the summer, and another one just left right before busy season. We’re in PCS, so our group is smaller too.

I think 15-20% is normal for a year.

I thought 25-30% was a more accurate number - that is around what PwC reported in their audit quality report for the audit practice.

Highest turnover among seniors of course

Avg for professional services was around 25% for professional services based on DoL stats last time I checked

I’m hating my job so bad I fantasize about walking out on my boss. My work itself is enjoyable but my boss (co-founder and CEO of a Series C startup) has become such a pain it ruins my mental health and family life. Working 12-15hrs everyday, working on many weekends, yet no appropriate for my work. We are mostly remote so a lot of interactions are over Slack. Now, I could never imagine one can be so obnoxious and mean over Slack messages when talking about work. I want to run away everyday.
