Talked to people that I decided to move from one big4 audit group to another big4 advisory. Discouraged by how people reacted :/

I just made a similar switch. The partners reacted so, so badly. But the voices that were happy for me outnumbered the voices that were dragging me. People will show their true colors when you leave, focus on the ones who are happy for you.
