I currently work at a mid-tier firm as a manger but was promoted three months ago so no real manager experience. I have an offer from EY but they want me to come in as a senior III since I don’t really have manager experience, which is fair. I feel like this would be a good career move decision but always tough to take a step back. Is the move worth it to have that Big4 experience on my resume?

As long as you aren’t taking a step back in salary I think you are good to take the position and put the Big 4 on your resume.

Depends. I’ve seen it matter most when going into industry for financial reporting roles. Specifically at public companies or for pre-IPO companies as they’ll want someone to have experience auditing public and private companies.

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.
