It's not wimpy at all. B4 isn't for many, thats why folks leave

I left last week for a much less stressful job, and I couldn’t be happier. Was texting with former peers on the team who are still there this morning, and I get the sense they wish they were in my position. If B4 isn’t for you, do what makes you happy.

Big 4 always gives this vibe that if you want something other than big 4 then you fail, it’s kinda like being in a manipulative relationship. Don’t be afraid to trust your intuition because it’s probably right.

Love this perspective!!

Depends on how you leave also. How do you frame it? Is it because you were really excited about the new opportunity? Or are you leaving because Billy is a mean partner

Hey, Chi. First time caller.

So I'm considering a switch from law to consulting, and noticed EY has started posting salary ranges for positions. All the mid- to senior-level jobs I'm looking at are in the $95k to $150k range. Is that right? True for all the big 4? Seems super low. I guess I never thought about it before but how exactly do you folks get paid?
