Leaving to go to Industry as a Staff at EY. I’ve been really surprised at the people of all levels that have reached out to convince me to stay. The main reason is that they’re saying is that “We have the same work you’d be doing there, here at EY”. I’m going to a Internal Consulting/ Corporate Strategy role at a F10 is that really similar to Big 4 Consulting?

Yes same type of work, but wayyy better wlb. That’s the deal breaker tbh, if you get more free time and flexibility, you essentially will be happier with the same type of work.

They only convincing argument to stay is $$$. I don’t care if they promise better projects, more support or whatever it is. $$$ in your pocket now is the only argument.

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
