This post is just to humblebrag the job offer isn’t it?
yes, you have been brainwashed
What’s the company? I’ll apply while your waffling over whether to break up with your abusive boyfriend.
Stockholm syndrome at its finest
Like, for real the whole reason I even started looking is bc I’m unhappy much of the time and feel like I want a nice 8-5 job, but now that I’m facing the offer it’s a harder decision than I thought and it feels like it shouldn’t be. The job is a huge bump in my title and salary, at a well known but growing company, great benefits. But I will miss the firm, my coworkers, my clients, feeling like I’m in a culture that values learning and professional growth, the resources, the flexibility, etc. I can’t say no to a 35k a year pay raise and a chance to have a life outside of work again though. I feel so conflicted
Well how long did you plan to stay with the firm? To have an offer that's 35k more than your current salary and a better title is obviously something you can't pass up. Think of it like this, you were gonna leave MA at some point. How many offers are this good?
Yes. Leave. If you feel like you have to, come back in a few years.

It’s hard when you have good relationships with your team and think highly of your firm overall. I went through the same thing. I was set on leaving EY, knew it was time to go. Then, I got my dream job offer and found myself so emotional about leaving. It was so weird and unexpected. But I left and am at my dream job and am SO HAPPY! You looked for a reason, remind yourself of that. But, you are not alone in the emotions part!
Yeah, I definitely am in full agreement with you on an intellectual level and I’m obviously not turning this down. It’d take me at least 4 more years at MA to get to this level. I just don’t understand my emotional reaction. Just last week I was complaining about how much I hate this job and now that I have an obviously superior alternative, all of the sudden I love it here and part of me is saying don’t leave? That’s insane. I think I’m insane
Thank you so much EY 1 & 3 for sharing your experiences. It makes me feel a lot better to know I’m not alone and that others have felt this way too. I think this all just happened so fast and I didn’t have time to really process the idea of leaving even though I do know it is time to leave
Definitely not insane! I had the same feelings when I left a small local tax company for EY. Obviously there's so many more benefits with EY but I loved the people I worked with at the tax company, even though I didn't want to do tax anymore and wasn't getting paid well to begin with. It's something inside of me that didn't want that change even though I knew it was for the best. Sounds very similar to your situation.
I’m not retarded, because as I stated quite clearly above, I AM going to leave. This post was more to discuss and ask for advice about why I’m feeling so emotional about it all of the sudden and how others have dealt with these feelings
Came back to PA for a 40% paycut? Da fun?
Fuq*?
I left MA for pay increase and "dream job" I loved MA so much. I'm considering going back
Are these fake posts by HR to adjust firm image or something?! Cause my team culture is toxic. I loved my job two years in, but now I don't because exactly opposite of what MA4 said.
So you loved the people and the culture enough to interview elsewhere...
