What are the exit opportunities from Big 4 Deals in the US?

Currently an accountant in the deal advisory group at one of the Big 4. Specifically CMAAS at PwC. Look, I know you finance folks look down on us bean counters. Trust me, I look down on myself too.

Started fairly recently but trying to look ahead as to what I can pivot to since I don’t plan on being an accountant forever. How had the market been for accountants trying to pivot to finance roles?
