Would it be terrible of me to quit during my rotation’s busy season? I got put on a mandatory rotation this summer (PwC is big on pulling resources especially now) but I’m really ready to get out. They stress being a “team player” and I have a feeling they will use this against me when I try to quit.

If you're quitting, what are they gonna do? Fire you? Don't let the firm guilt trip you into staying when that doesn't benefit your career...

Fair point- just worried about them thinking I’m “burning bridges” but ultimately I guess at that point I really don’t care about keeping bridges with them.

It would be terrible of you to quit during your rotation’s busy season, because someone else has to take over for you now. You should be a team player and stay indefinitely.

funny

When you say mandatory rotation do you mean they are forcing you into a different group to keep you busy during your normal group's down time? ie trying to maximize resources. If so, are you getting a pay increase? If no, then ok to quit. If pwc is flaunting no layoffs but taking this strategy without increased comp, that's bs

Yeahhh that's bs. The "team player" thing is just a guilt trip

Actually kpmg is doing this to our Risk Assurance folks as well. And I don’t think I’ve ever considered leaving the firm more. The tone from our SPML was that we should really be staying and working without merit increases for the sake of being a team player and while I understand, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

do it!

Any tips on leaving a firm “correctly”? Was about to go “of counsel” with my firm of 6 years, but then another firm whose partners I really respect (and personally like) offered me a partnership position. I predict my current bosses will *flip* (cut off file access immediately, try to beat me to calling my clients, etc.), so how do I set myself up for a successful transition?

Maybe looking at the number of years it takes to get promoted from M to SM could be a good indicator?
