Anyone having luck in the job market? I have been applying to many industry jobs these past two months. Barely any interviews and just got rejected from a job i really wanted. Burnt out audit manager who is seriously considering quitting their job after busy season and relying on savings until I can finally find a more sustainable job... what can I do and what have other people done?

Yeah, the market isn’t great. DM me - I can check internally at my company if there’s an opening that fits if you’re interested in accounting advisory.

I would not recommend leaving your job because it’s way easier to get new job when you have a job vs when you quit.

Thanks everyone!

This job stresses me out a lot but I'll stick it out until I find something new. Recruiters contact me constantly for other audit manager roles but nothing for the kind of role I really want. I'm definitely not failing for a lack of trying and am considering a paycut just to make the switch.

Hoping things calm down a little bit after busy season but knowing the pattern - slightly fewer hours but still miserable...

I feel your pain. I’m in the same shoes. Just trying to be patient…. Take a longer leave after the busy season to decompress and reset.

Im hearing its almost impossible to get into industry directly from PA at manager+ level. You will need to take a step back and apply to senior level roles and ofc take a paycut. You’ve been duped

Hi All,

I have a situation in front of me. I got an offer from small company or we could say startup company Uzio (pdt based) and my manager in current company didn't revert back with any retaining offer. It's been a month and 27 days left in np.
My dilemma is that my current team including reporting manager are very rude and not supportive. I don't want to work in this project. But if I join in that startup company, there's a risk as everyone is talking about recession, firing. Suggestions?
