ADVICE.

Left EY to join boutique firm. Realised I don’t like it 3 months in and miss EY. Thinking to move back to my old service line at EY and do an internal transfer (should have tried this from the beginning), but will result in a comp decrease and won’t look great on my resume.

Thoughts?

Why wouldn’t you apply directly to the service line you’re interested in at EY through your contacts there?

Not really - I mean I can do a bit of LinkedIn searching and find those people, but I have closer contacts In my home service and since a lot of people have left, I have a better chance of going back? I’m so stressed out and don’t know what to do 😭

Which boutique firm did you join? What didn’t you like about it?

If I’m honest, I only moved because of comp increase and to get out of risk assurance which is what I was doing at EY. Do you think boomeranging back to another service line with only 3 months out of risk assurance is feasible? Given I network etc

Just be honest and see what happens

I would have an honest discussion with EY if thats where you would decided to work with again. If not, I would network hard and look for different opps with another said honest discussion about leaving.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
