Went from b4 to RSM and culture and clients way better, IMO. I'm much happier here.

I was at KPMG. It's all relative to the specific locations and offices. Don't think a certain firm will be better because of the name on the door. Interview and meet people face to face and get a feel. Once I did that I immediately knew.

I came from industry to RSM and while the hours during busy season can be rough (it's still PA) I really enjoy the people I work with and benefits offered. Maternity/paternity leave policy is insanely good since they just updated it, in case you're looking to settle down in that way. Promotion path is identical to PWC based on above.

@RSM1 mind if I ask which b4 you were at? Are your benefits comparable to what they were at b4?

As long as you're not looking at advisory in the "Great Lakes" region, RSM might be an ok alternative. I still suggest going into industry.
