Wherever you can live a good life

It depends on the service line you’d like to be in. What are you interested in providing audit/assurance services to? Government, Tech, Big Corps, etc.?

Either way, I’d start in the city that provides the most of the services to that industry, then see if another firm will allow you to be remote while you live in LCOL (or hybrid if they have an office in an LCOL city you like). I live in LCOL and you can live like a king on an assurance salary at M level.
