My only precaution would be that most people go the opposite route, PA to private, and not the other way around (because no one likes busy season/slaving at the B4).
I'm doing it opposite because I was a little stubborn after I graduated but I've only been out of school for a few years so making the switch wouldn't be too bad...at least I don't think. I figure since I have only been working a little over 2 years that learning/experiencing something new wouldn't hurt me.
You work for a B4 right? Thought I read that somewhere. I don't think I'd jump into that but more along the lines of a local CPA firm just to get my feet wet. This guy I met works for Deloitte...he told me not to go into it.
He also told me to find an industry I like and stick with it because in the long run you can do really well. I'm still young so still deciding what I really like to do. Thanks for the input.

No I work for a local firm, and I am very glad I chose this path. Every single person I know who works/has worked for a B4 (even in the relatively small southeastern La market) is/was absolutely miserable. I feel like a get a much wider industry exposure here, and that is my primary career goal while I am doing public accounting. We hired a guy that came from private and had not worked in public, and he didn't make it more than like 8 months, but he was way older (late 30s/early 40s). If you're relatively young and not too tied down, its probably not a big deal, as long as you know what you're getting into.
