You will also work significantly less hours and much better work life balance . It is a no brainer. Take it and don't look back.
My goal right now is just escaping busy season. If I can’t move up as I expect, I may jump the ship again for a better opportunity. Thank you for your insight.
I feel the downside is a long-term factor compared to big4 busy season. You may only have 1 busy season in a year, but in industry you got busy every month for month-ends and likely quarter ends and year end on top of that.
OP, I also heard some of my friend took a job that turned out to be different from what they promised during the interview. They ended up leaving within half a year and had to start over with job hunting. It's best to do your due diligence before accepting, and the rest depends on your luck.
Industry is a cake walk compared to big four.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Long hours hit me pretty hard and I feel like I have no life besides work. Salary is one thing that makes me consider but with your experience, I think I make up my mind.
