Work life balance is a lot better. I enjoyed my time at one of the big 4 and stayed for just over 15 years. People actually care that I have a life outside of work now. I get to see my family more and am not working anywhere near the amount of hours I did in public. Plus a 30% pay increase, and no weekend work are a plus.
I went from traveling 4 days a week and regularly working at night to a cushy office that I left at 5pm everyday. Also got a 15% raise and my bonus more than doubled
But, that was almost a decade ago and I got bored of it and returned to PA :)
Left PA and went into local government. Pay per hour is higher. I only work, at most, 3 Saturdays a year. 2 of those are for City events where I just walk around and give directions/ask questions. I actually get more time off due to sick and vacation being two separate pools. Even if I get fired today I’ll never go back to PA.
