Does anyone know of occurences of people working in practice and leaving for industry?

Is this a regular phenomenon?

Do they end up coming back?

Do they prefer it?

etc etc

I'm just thinking that I might go into practice but with a long term goal of moving into industry. I would prefer to work in industry but the experience you can gain by working in practice seems invaluable.

Thanks in advance
Adrian

    Hi lincs,

    I know it is very common for practice people to move into industry! I did it the other way round though (just to be different!!)

    Practice can be quite dull at times - especially if working on a client who's books and records are in a complete mess (which happens quite frequently in practice). I think this is why people tend to move into industry - also the wages are higher in industry than in practice depending on what level you are on.
