To those who have moved from a national firm to a regional firm, did you find better work/life balance? Thinking of making a move, but still want to stay in public.

I definitely did, I think the scale makes a big difference. But at the same time I know that not all regional firms are as well-organized and functional as mine is, so I think it really depends on the regional firm you would be moving to

I came from MM to a firm prob as a big as Crowe. It’s more entrepreneurial which I like. I can join initiatives that I think will help better my practice.

I work in a specialized advisory practice though so idk how it would be if you were tax/audit.

Get out of the Top 30 firms- the amount of hours they require are toxic and most of them are being bought by private equity.

Right Manager 4?! I feel like anyone who slaves away in the Top 30 only to get screwed by PE is not thinking clearly.

Depends on who you want your clientele to be. I’m Pig 4 for life

I work on average about 40-45 hours a week in big 4. Every MM firm that I talked with have much higher hours per week so I think it honestly depends on your circumstance and the prospective firm.

Don’t let blanket statements decide your future. Do your own research, interview places and make your own decision.

How is work life balance in amdocs.

I started a new job just 7 weeks ago, but an opportunity for a dream job just suddenly and unexpectedly fell into my lap! It’s a lot more money, more aligned with my career goals, and will have better work life balance. I’d be an idiot to not take this great new opportunity! That being said… I’m going to feel bad leaving this new job so soon. I’m sure they’ll be disappointed and maybe even angry… is there any way to NOT burn bridges on my way out of this current job?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
