Any good reason why you didn’t want to go for big 4 for your first 2 firms?
They’re likely to ask you that - because if work life balance is what you were after from the beginning, they’re bound to ask you that why a change of mind

I didn’t think my university would be good enough for the Big4. Further at that time all I wanted was to get called with no intention to stay on in practice but well fast forward this isn’t the case. Further, my peers landed chinatown sweatshops, mid, barely any making it to a big firm.
Shortly after I signed contract with firm #04, well a Big4 called me for an interview but by then it was too late, and i felt it wouldn’t be right to attend, since I already landed a job. Furthermore, it would be no guarantee I would get the job anyway. Would I be blacklisted that’s my worry, as I wrote in to decline the interview.
Part of me wonders what would have been. But well, mainly remuneration and I think I’ve reached a point I don’t want to get stuck in small-mid firms forever.
