Don’t. Long term your brand equity for staying longer will pay off.

Depends a lot on what kind of exits you are looking for.. Cognizant is known for technology, KPMG is known more for assurance type work.

Beyond brand it comes down to the specific role and whether that provides the OP with what they need to get themselves to the next level.

I moved from a big4 to Cognizant and am working with much smarter people, more diverse clients, and making a lot more money.

Not saying that is a universal truth, but I wouldn’t discourage someone from exploring options at lower tier firms solely based on “brand”.

Also once you have one big name on your resume working for lesser known employers don’t matter as much...

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..
