All these posts of people leaving is making me nervous to jump ship right now, market might be flooded with public accountants looking at industry jobs. Is it more than usual or is this just normal turnover

Much more than usual. What we are seeing is not normal turnover. It’s a combination of heavy SMs being let go because budget constraints, no raises bc of Covid and then normal turnover on top of that.

Morale in public was very low through November/ early December. That was when industry started hiring like crazy, (probably optimistic after the vaccine came out). People are giving their notice now after the background checks are clearing which also had delays due to the holidays. Just my take...

I seriously cant wait to give my two weeks. My senior was awful, didn’t have a counselor until last week, and the talent consultant was no help. So excited for Monday!!! Happy only two more weeks of this toxic environment

Nice! I got an offer but wasn’t a good fit. Still interviewing so hoping to land a good one soon.

I’d recommend job hunting in the turnaround & restructuring space. That market is hot right now (while most industry jobs have been freezing or cutting back on hiring).

I second this. A lot more opportunities for people looking to break into consulting in this space. It’s still very competitive but I’m seeing people actually getting interviews, unlike pre covid where non consultants resumes were thrown out.

I think it is important to look at your own office and see how many people are leaving. I feel like the post here are not actually realistic of what is happening. In my office, I have only see one person leave since July.

In my group alone we have had 2 senior managers and 2 managers leave within the last 3 months. In the office there’s been more.

It goes in cycles. There is always a decent amount of turnover. It is higher now, but seemed lower than usual the last few years

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
