I don’t enjoy the management at my job and I received an offer for a private company as a staff accountant. Would it be so bad to leave public accounting when I’ve only been in it for a year?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal.

This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
