Do it. The general rule is essentially this: for every year you spend at the Big 4, it equates to roughly 1.5 to 3 years in a corporate or public accounting position elsewhere.
Plus, if you're going for private after a few years of Big 4, brand recognition (having PwC, E&Y, Deloitte, KPMG on your resume) is key.

A bit off-topic (but related): How easy/hard is it for an ex-Big 4 to switch into the private sector (esp. F500)? I know it should be better than a regional firm in terms of brand name, but I would also think there are so many Big 4 trying to make the switch that it would be difficult even with the name. Is it still very competitive?
Also, what kind of roles are most ex-Big 4 candidates going for, say, at a F500? Mostly internal audit? Or perhaps corporate finance, financial management, or budgeting/cost?
