I was laid off by EY 4 years ago and got the best position of my career that I still love. If I hadn’t been laid off I may have passed up the chance.

laid off a year ago and found a better job within 2 weeks. Wish I left the B4 before. Layoff is the best thing happened to me.

Laid off end of May, Started new position with $13K raise first of August. This was after being ghosted by employers after being a top candidate. Some companies are still posting their positions. Hang in there you may need to change your resume to get it by the AI.

EY layoffs?

Sorry to hear that

What service line + what level were you? There are plenty of open positions for senior and above if you look at mid market / top 10 or whatever you want to call it

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.
