Started interviewing and had 1 offer out of the gate which I declined. Had another interview today that went really good. I really hope I get an offer because I'm so done with PwC. I have Stockholm syndrome so bad that I don't want to leave. I'm a mess. Someone talk me down. Please.

I had the same issue, instead of thinking of it as leaving PwC, look at it as accepting a new opportunity

This is a positive way of looking at it. Thank you.

Stockholm Syndrome is right. After 13 years I put in my notice today and I’ve been so depressed all day. Even though I’m leaving for a much better position. Hang in there!!!

Same here. All the reasons that got me to interview and got me an offer. The minute I signed it I started panicking and thinking about all the reason why I should not change my job

Focus more on what could go “right” instead of what could go “wrong” by leaving PwC.

Hey Fishes,

Can I retire from Pwc if I want to??

I'm really feeling afraid about joining since I see max people leave after 2-3 years.

I want to work for 6-7 years at least. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question.

I'm just curious since I've seen people working for 20 years in TCS, but I don't know how it is in PWC.

Any help will be appreciated
