Mid size accounting firm vs. Big 4

Not sure whether I should go with a mid size firm or a big 4.

I like the mid size firm a lot better and they are very well respected in my area. They are a part of the Moore Stephens Group, and they offer financial services like valuations.

The big4 that I can go to is EY if that makes a difference, not a big fan of them, but they're not bad.

Was wondering if Big4 really makes that much of a difference when trying to exit accounting into other careers, ideally a finance career in PE, HF's, etc.

Thoughts?

Go with Big 4 firm. Recruiters care about that name brand. Especially if you are trying for finance exit ops. You can always go to the other firm if you dislike EY and want to stick with accounting.
