Hi all,

Like many here, my only goal after college was to get into Big 4. After the excitement wore off and I was working 70-80 hour weeks, I started responding to the recruiter emails. So lo and behold, I got an exciting offer with a start up (Silicon Valley) that includes a 29% percent increase in pay and equity with the company (hope to go public). Now I sit with the decision to leave public accounting with just about 1 year experience or stick it out until senior. I have the chance to be part of something great but fear better future opportunities with staying in Big 4.

Disclaimer:(I have one year accounting experience with a regional firm as well, so not leaving with no experience)

I would appreciate opinions!

Thank you
