Just out curiosity, if you had to rank the top 5-10 Big 4
offices (in terms of cities), how would it go? I'd assume
NYC is a slam dunk number 1 across the board, but what else
would be included in the top 10? LA, Chicago, Houston,
Dallas, etc. and where would all of them stand
individually?

NYC is always mentioned due to location, but starting
salary isn't that great when factoring cost of living.
Chicago or Houston would probably be a bit better because
you get the large city without quite as high cost of
living.

There is no way for anyone to rank them. Too many factors:
cost of living, office personality, client list, etc.

NY Metro area Big Four have the most business. So if I had to rank what
office I'm least likely to lose my job, I'd go with NY.

Yeah, if given the option of any office, I'd probably take
SD, because of the weather alone.

Nothing like sitting at the client in Feb. looking at a big
pile of snow as the sun sets at 6 pm
