You can leave your articleship by way of transfer but as per the rules mentioned by ICAI which govern the transfer of articles. Now talking about why would you want to leave Big 4. Firstly, list your reasons first because it is a big step and also will affect your career. There could be possibly any reason which an individual faces while articleship in Big 4. If you are clear with it, now choose the other options where you would be able to do the articleship from and are these options accessible, do they help you in choosing the career you want for yourself, do they add value to it. Remember, everyone doesnt get into Big 4, if you are into big 4, capitalize it and gain as much knowledge as you can.
