Is the assurance practice pretty big in San Diego? I am currently in federal advisory but thinking of switching bc I don't think advisory is for me since I'm a CPA and rather do something is more aligned with my cpa license ..

SD is gorgeous weather wise, better than LA, no traffic, great food. There's no 'jobs' on SD really, but as a consultant it should be a fine. Housing market is better in SD than LA as well. West kinda blows for projects, depending on your SL, Check with colleagues in your SL in the west and see how they like it. You could be forced to change competency, a lot of P/U work down there and in the west.

Yes, it's pretty much all assurance, tax, and IT Audit as the main advisory footprint there

San Diego is big on public sector consulting. Navy and marine corps contractors

I'm in Advisory, I have no knowledge of the assurance practice in the west. I would think it would be fairly easy to network and find people who are and could tell you. I know quite a few people with CPA's that left and went to advisory. Just depends on what you wanna do with your life, just because you have a CPA, doesn't mean you're condemned to checking boxes for the rest of your life. Grow professionally and be happy with your choices. Good luck
