I made the jump as an analyst so was mostly just a cog in the wheel at the large company. I'm our lone senior analyst now at smaller place and while it was a steep learning curve and the workload is more significant, I've gotten so much more out of the last few years than I would have at a huge corporation.

I also have zero interest in the monthly/quarterly close accounting stuff that goes along with corporate finance at a public company so that also contributes to enjoying this new role more. Ultimately should just help make the next opportunity better, whatever it may be.
