Why is Advisory so weak on the west? I feel like my options are getting stuck into work I don't like or doing coast to coast travel.

Real answer the largest west coast companies tend to be our audit clients, so we can't sell advisory work to them.

Maybe the west coast has figured out how much of a sham can be.

It’s for EY. Top tech companies in the West are all your audit clients. Being in EY, west coast is suicide

EY1.. same at PwC

Based on EY1/C1 sounds like you need to switch firms to whoever is scooping your audit clients on the advisory side.

Make frequent traveler. You'll find nearly all your travel from the West will have to be in business class as almost everything is at least a 3 hour flight :)

M1- exactly why no one will staff him. If you wanna stay west coast, ACN has the strongest practice

C1 - if you're good you'll always get staffed

That is not true. I’ve been at clients who specifically don’t want to pay for extended travel from west coast and this is in Chicago

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
