Is it ok to resign in the middle of busy season? I switched to BDO as a senior in summer of 2021 and this is going to be my 1st busy season with them (3rd in total) but I'm dreading it.

I mean do what is best for you - just why jump from one firm with busy seasons to another firm with busy seasons. What did you expect to change?

I’m thinking of switching to transaction advisory. I have heard they have bad hours during the winter but that depends on the deals you’re working on.

What are they going to do, fire you?

Of course you can do it

I’m an audit manager at a local PA firm in Chicagoland area. I’m having difficulty figuring out if my salary is within the current market for my position/experience. Our titles/levels are a bit off compared to bigger firms. Perhaps someone on here can share their insight?

Some stats:
CPA, audit manager (SM equivalent at Big4?)
2 years in the current position
10 years of experience in PA (staff->senior->supervisor->manager)
PA firm is around 100 people
Current salary $138k + 8-10% bonus

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.

Wondering if I could get some feedback. Currently have two very similar offers from both Deloitte and EY (both audit roles). Potential third from PwC but I am a bit more intrigued by the industries I was told I’d work in for the first two. Anything I should consider? Should I stay away from any of them in particular?
