Want to move to a new market to be closer to my friends. Interviewed with BDO and got an offer for a Senior role. I current work at another international firm (non-B4) and debating what to do

B4 just isn't hiring in that market. I have been referred to 3 and the hiring department says there isn't a need or forecasted need at the senior level. I'd be coming into BDO as an experienced senior. I have my eye on sticking it out till manager. Mostly just fear of the unknown. GT is a good firm that have treated me well. I have had a lot of success and the idea of leaving my managers and clients has me going back and forth on it. The move is personal in nature, nothing wrong with my current situation

Cont. My current firm doesn't have an office there, otherwise I would stay

Is B4 not an option? If moving to a larger market, BDO hours will be similar to B4, so might as well get the B4 brand if you're starting from square 1 anyways. If B4 not an option, BDO is a fine firm and can give you good experiences. What specifically are you concerned about?

Any advice would be appreciated. Don't really have a good source of professional advice outside my managers and partners at my current firm

I think personal life > work life. It's important to be happy in both, but many times personal life gets overlooked. If you think the move will be good for you on a personal level, I don't see any huge reason to not make it. What market in particular? Unless it's a small market, BDO should be fine.

Midwest (not Chicago) - I guess the exit ops won't change much. B4 all have offices there, just not looking to add peo

People at my level

Maybe check out GT?
