Did you have performance issues?

Not at all. Even if any, I was never reproached about it. No warning, no complaints. Just a sudden we termination as coincidentally on April 30 after deadline.

I was even told by the recruiter who refer me to them that they recently said positive things about me. Nevertheless I was laid off

Yes. I had an opportunity at a smaller firm right out of school as an intern and was told it would become a permanent role. After tax season, I was let go. It seems like a bit of a rite of passage—almost like hazing—for new accountants.

Did that happens to you only one time ?
How did you recover from it?

Please do yourself a favor-most of these firms talk a great game but the reality is that they don't have the clients nor the work to sustain a staff.

Well they shouldn’t hire then
Because of this politic they are really running people career

Meaning you got hired in January and let go that same April?

I don’t know if dropping the firm name here is a good idea but I can definitely share with you privately. I was a staff accountant Preparing and reviewing Tax.
Before this one I was working on 2 prior firm doing exactly the same Tax preparation and Reviewing. I hope that helps

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate. However, their version of refinancing student loans has changed in the last couple years so now they offer you a personal line of credit. Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?

Hi All,

Need some career advice.

I have a year of experience in a clinical ops role where learning is quite stagnant.

It would be really helpful to get your guidance on further course of action.

TIA!
