Thoughts on moving offices as a new senior from a big market to smaller? Are there significantly different implications on your career (experiences or compensation)? How is the process?

I recommend you do what is best for your life and your family. The career impact (assuming you eventually leave public) will be minimal if you still have EY on your résumé.

Personally, advise against. Was happy, now I'm miserable. You might get a pay freeze or pay bump depending upon the market, but a small office is like a cliquey suburban high school. It seems like fewer spots at the top leads to less teaming and a more competitive spirit. Lack of resources is a problem everywhere, but fewer clients in a smaller market does mean that you have less of an opportunity for either diversification or specialty in an industry, if your market lacks one or the other. The process takes a while, start early.

Ever since I was a student I’ve always found the accounting jokes mildly humorous, and the weird “selling” personas kind of off-putting.

Would you hang out with management at your firm if you met them as a stranger? I always find it weird when you see that person who kisses partner butt, just to get a seat at an awkward dinner where the partner interrogates you about work stuff.

There are interesting people at work, but I feel like they are in the minority.
