A website set up to help unfulfilled City workers find unconventional alternatives to their jobs has published a list of the City firms people are "most desperate to leave", and it would appear there are a lot of unhappy accountants.
The website, www.escapethecity.org, launched in 2010, has 24,000 subscribers. Features on the site include a list of the "latest escapees", and "heroes", including a former lawyer turned CBBC assistant script editor.
With the help of Google Analytics, the site has put together a list of the corporate intranets registering the most hits on their website, and it doesn't look good for the accounting big four.
Staff at PwC, which regularly does well in "Best place to work"-style surveys, were the most regular visitors to the website, followed by their peers at KPMG, Ernst & Young and Deloitte.
This would either suggest that accountants are an unhappy bunch, or that word of the website has spread particularly quickly among the number-crunching community.
UBS, in fifth place, is the investment bank staff would most like to escape from, while Allen & Overy is the only law firm featured in the top ten.
Here's the list in full:
1. PwC
2. KPMG
3. Ernst & Young
4. Deloitte
5. UBS
6. JP Morgan
7. Allen & Overy
8. Deutsche Bank
9. HSBC
10. Credit Suisse
