I was at a ‘top 15’ firm for 8 years and was so proud about working there, loved the work I did but ultimately ended up leaving due to not jiving with the partner I ended up working for. Three years later, I still miss that place and the partner has since retired. They took on PE $$ though. I can’t help but want to go back despite everything. Am I crazy? Anyone else go through this? Any advice?

I boomeranged back to EY and there is a big community of us. Not sure about the PE infusion and how that would effect it but it’s worth having a conversation about going back 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sounds like CohnReznick. Pressure from the top has increased here significantly since PE. I would assume the same for any PE backed firm. Talk to some colleagues about what has changed before going back.

Is there something against doing back to back offers at PwC or any of the other big four? I have two accepted offers with PwC next summer and would love to do both if the dates don't overlap (internship and a Masters fellowship). I was told that even if the dates don't overlap when they are announced sometime next year, I may still not be able to do both because of reasons related to the firm?
If this is the case then I may have look for another internship that I can do before the fellowship.
