Everyone is, there are big 4 job postings all over the place. Anecdotally, I’ve been getting messages from 3 of the other big 4 about joining.

KPMG seems to have a bunch leaving. Looking at old scheduling reports for our office, we had about 150 seniors at this point last year, and we are just under 100 seniors rn. I started right before COVID hit, so I don’t know what “normal” turnover looks like though.

I previously worked in a Big4 office with an average of <30 auditors. I am the 2nd person who left the firm this year. As of now 3 people have resigned since my departure. Prior to this year, our average turnover is 3.
