Because they work you like a dog in big 4, clocking in till 2-3am when on assignments every so often and despite the higher pay (after working a few years) you have almost no life.
Also career options are limited, not everyone gets to be partner so for most you will just stay at senior manager level. If you are lucky maybe can find job outside as CFO or something if not just stuck as a senior mgr in big 4 drawing a somewhat high pay.
I have a friend from big 4, she decided to join a bank after 2 years before her pay surged to high and she would have to take a pay cut to join a bank cos dun have much related experience. She decided to join a bank to be a corporate credit analyst then continue being a big 4 auditor.
