Thinking about leaving my current role to move closer to family and friends, but hesitant to give up my position in the current job market. Not a fan of the busy season grind either so looking to move to private or governmental from a big 4 audit position. I think it would make me happier, and I don't care if I take a pay cut for it. Should I do it?

2nd year associate.

Why dont you first search for the job and interview in that location, once you land a job you resign? That will make the move less risky? Leaving big 4 is not always guaranteed less hours

I think that's the current plan, and I'm factoring that in. I feel for me the work hours are manageable if I can have my support group nearby.

I opened up my LinkedIn to recruiters but all the offers are 60-70k base and 120-140k OTE. I am shooting for MINIMUM 80k base but ideally 100k or more.

What would you do?

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
