I am currently at a small mid-tier firm and I am thinking about applying for a position with one of the specialty groups at BDO LA. Would love some feedback about the office, groups, etc. Thx

Are you taking the clients with you?

Yes. I have a small book of business.

Sorry not BDO, just nosy! One of my sr mgr came from another mid tier as well. He brought his own set of clients, and for a while he appears to be working himself to death emailing people at 3-4AM. Then, he brought in some of his old work buddies, stole the audit programs from his prior firm, hired some staff of his own, lost some clients, won some bids ... now I think he will live, and maybe make partner.

@EY1 - my clients are not traditional tax or audit clients. They will follow me where ever I go.

Hi! I have a very demanding role as a comms director, but still make time to volunteer on the side for some women's organizations I am proud to support.

I don't want to leave the roles despite the overwhelm.
