What is this talk about leaving big 4 for better work/life balance and more money. Doing what? You get your CPA and you open a shop doing audit or taxes? There are a millions people doing that and the competition from TurboTax and HR Block is fierce. Tax time is hell regardless of bring in Big 4 or not.

You could exit accounting and go into Corp Finance. That is simply accounting with a different name.

Accounting is a fine career, but don’t expect to be rich or buying a Ferrari.
