Will leaving before senior set my career back a substantial amount? (E.g. Not as many exit opportunities, less of a chance to enter a different service line)

If you want to enter a new service line it would be easier now than later. If you wait until senior to do it they may demote you back down in order to switch!

Every year you stay you become more valuable with more/ great exit opportunities.

Or can you achieve the same success?

It’s better to leave now if you’re already yearning to leave. You’ll get to an area you enjoy more and have time to grow and get the senior promotion in that position. Just don’t go to industry without that senior title (at a minimum)

I still think leaving asap would be your best bet. I wish I had more aggressively tried to get out of tax when I was a new staff, 9 years later and it is still what I am doing, thankfully i found an area I enjoy. But I truly think the sooner the better if you want to make a service line switch.
