I've worked for the firm for the past 6-7 months, and politely, Big 4 life is not for me. This is not busy season stress talking, as my entire experience with PwC has been marked with extremely long hours (including weekends), grunt work, and an overall disrespect for work-life balance. I've made the hard decision to leave the firm, which I think is the right move for my career and family life. (Please no judging) I accepted a position at another great company (a complete career switch), in which I'm working normal hours and getting paid learly 25% more than I'm making now (which is irrelevant in the big picture, but helps). I'm excited about my new challenge, and I feel like a huge burden has been lifted.
My question: How does PwC (or any other Big 4 company) handle resignations? Will I be shown to the door, or allowed to work my final 2 weeks? Will my final two weeks be difficult due to office resentment? I'd like to believe that PwC respects one's personal decisions, but from my experience here I've seen a lot of negative "group mentatilty".
Any advice would be appreciated.
