Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind the way you’re describing them

yeah they are growing the practice (based on my interviews with them)

Go to Big 4 transaction advisory if you are not sick of public yet. Everyone is hiring, don’t settle for Siegfried Group. DM me for a referral to Deloitte transaction advisory.

In-house accounting if you want WLB and/or are sick of public.
