Looking to leave for TAS. I reached out to contacts in big four and they’re on a hiring freeze. Found a gig at a no name accounting firm’s TAS group that’s famous in its region. It’s a pretty small group. Would leaving big four for a smaller firm hurt me? Alternative is to wait until economy improves enough for big 4 to hire again.

If you want to get out now and the new firm will give you the work experience that you want, I would highly consider jumping now. You can always apply to B4 when the freeze is over, plus you'll have some TAS experience on your resume already
