I joined MasterCard and rejected Morgan Stanley offer even though they were paying more just because of location concern(Pune vs Mumbai) and now I am regretting it because others are saying u would have got better brand value and exit opportunities. Does Morgan Stanley brand name really help during exit opportunities ? Its been just 15 days here and have option to buy out notice period
so should I check with MS hr if they can reconsider me ?

Sometimes it’s like the work / hate particular people
Well, not all Big four offices are created equally. Some people will change firms because they are moving to a new area and the office in that area does not have a good reputation or that market isn’t large enough and the office is not the biggest/best in that area. And like the other guy said, 90% of the time it is all about the money.
I was stuck on a job another firm that I couldn’t get off of. Went to the other firm to move industries.
Also green card process - I know a few people switched on a condition that the firm will start green card process within a year.
Very different personalities between firms.
The People! The culture! The clients! ....but mostly the people.
I see it time and again, people leave managers (leaders) not firms. Motivation may be sweetened if there is a promotion and / or raise included in a move.
Money is certainly nice, but not everything. Some people may make work horrible but would you really stay for more money? Health and well-being are important as are family and friends.
And promotion, you can only move so often and get promoted each time before your lack of skills and / or experience come up.
Upward mobility in a certain city or region.
I’m doing it to switch service lines quickly, and because I see more happiness than what I am doing now (the city I am in sucks and so do the people now that the mass exodus occurred after busy season). Not to mention, better benefits where I’m going. Student loans are a thing for me
They didn’t get promoted and they switch to get the title
I had a toxic team leader at a small Big 4 office, and had to travel a lot. Switched to another more established firm in my city/region and got paid more, travel less, and am part of a much better team.
I did it to switch from audit to advisory and get a raise while doing it
People. I just couldn’t deal with the assholes I worked with before and refused to become like them.
Culture, market leadership differences by geography, partnership opportunity, people
If only about the money - you are probably in wrong profession. Don’t get me wrong - money matters and makes life easier but it can’t be just about the money
Currently stuck on the same engagement for most of my 2 years at EY (large year round audit with no senior so they basically groomed me eventually be THE senior on that engagement). Currently in talks with 2 competing B4.

Yeah - City specific differences in some form or another. Which may mean their current people suck in some way or they want more money
