Would going from Risk Assurance at a Big 4 accounting firm to a Staff Accountant position in industry be a wise career move? I think the Staff Accountant position would be better suited for my interests and life, but it’s almost as if I’m starting over on a new path after getting a couple of years of experience in Risk Assurance.

I know a few people who have done it. If I wasn't a few months away from senior promotion I may have as well. If RA isn't your thing then leaving for the right opportunity before you hit 3-ish years is best.
