I left big four to industry and then going to rejoin in few months. I missed my time spending with young professionals, and the faster career path that’s why I’m rejoining. I don’t miss the workload….
Thank you. Those are good things that I also like. I know career growth can be stagnant in industry but you have to be strategic and jump around to get promo.
It really depends on the company. But I have thoroughly enjoyed industry and never see myself going back to big4. For context, I was in big4 for 5 years and in industry for 10 years now. I have switched jobs in industry also. I make north of 195k and work about 35hrs regularly.
Went from B4 to Industry and now boomeranged back to B4. Industry was just extremely boring and doing quarter end and year end close provisions was almost as bad as normal tax busy season in B4 to be honest... Also as others pointed out in Industry you don't get cost of living adjustment and I went almost 2 years without a raise since that's pretty typical in industry.. Zero regrets dipping my toe in industry pool since I discovered id die of boredom and just be waiting in line until the next person above me moved on..
I went from industry to B4. I can tell you I don’t miss industry. My workload is higher in B4 but it’s much more enjoyable.
Very helpful you all, thank you. I am currently interviewing for industry because I can't take the horrible hours at Deloitte anymore.
