I should have thought more about studying computer science or electrical engineering than accounting. Big 4 benefits are so paltry in comparison to tech companies. Found out some of the benefits tech companies have for their employees are killer:
•$3K wellness fund
•4 months parental leave & $5K gift for new parents
•Childcare reimbursement $3K
•Fully paid health insurance (vision, dental included)
•Fully paid internet and cellphone

Not to mention much higher pay and better WLB.

EY5 I moved to Deloitte and do technical accounting for post-merger integration, carve outs, and IPOs while assisting FDD teams as needed if the accounting is complex.

My projects are usually 2-6 months long and our schedules are more predictable than FDD. Most weeks I put in 40-45 hours/week. My lightest week has been 20 hours and my heaviest was 55 hours. Weekend work is extremely rare.

You're kinda late to the party, bud. Big Tech's been the sexy and hot industry for the past decade. But it's never too late to make the switch instead of regretting your career choice for the next 30-50 years.

Still lucrative and usually has better working conditions than PA. Their margins (assuming software) are significantly higher so they can pay more.
