Most executive staff had managerial experience in big 4 before they left for another position. Or if you are leaving as a senior associate, and getting a manager title in industry when you leave, it will be the same a few years down the road?

EY has done studies that the longer you stay at least at EY (but I imagine it is the same at all B4) the better your career trajectory. So if you aspire to a C level position you increase that chance if you make it to at least Senior Manager.

Personally I have seen that. I have seen Seniors who we thought were stars leave for industry and more money. But so then ended up working with them 3-5 years later and they were still effectively at the senior level when it came to managing cross border deals, etc. They hadn’t had the same kind of experiences or training that people in the B4 had.

Btw - I am tax too So yes, I do think getting manager experience and beyond will enhance your career trajectory

Good luck OP

If you hang on until you get the manager title at big4, that will help on get better positions after this first job out of PA.
