I left PwC tax and joined a Tier 2 firm for some work life balance but my work life is worse than PwC. Plus I find the leadership has lost all direction and suddenly it’s in a downward spiral. I felt I should go back to PwC if they would take me back. Is this a good idea? Your thoughts

I was with EY then I quit for a few years in industry then I re-joined EY. The general thought process of big 4s is that they would rather re-hire an alumni then take some outsider. So I would say that unless you burned your bridge on your way out , they would be happy to have you back.

Yes absolutely right

Yeah why not.

Right now there's high demand as many people have left already. Hence you can grab this opportunity

I'd suggest to wait for at least 6 months before going back since then they'll do CTC correction as well and prioritise your candidature.

It’s been 5 months now. So the wait period is over
