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?
