Is it worth staying in public accounting and moving to NY for tax.. or should I look for opportunities outside of the firm.

Really want to move to NY and don’t know if I should stay within PwC and not get paid enough.. or look elsewhere and possibly get paid what we all deserve

Do u know what ur market value is in NY? If you come from a lower COL then you might get screwed if you aren’t careful

I think you should look at long term progression. I can’t speak for tax but I know plenty of people in audit that leave to “get paid what they deserve” only to leave into a bit of a dead end job where the pay boost is only there short term. Not saying there aren’t opportunities, just think bigger picture
