Anyone ready for NYC gathering?
After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

I’ve been in the same place a couple of times in my career. Remote work during Covid, and now hybrid work, completely saved my tax career.
What do you think is driving this rut? Are you truly losing interest in tax, or is it some other factor, like the hours? The clients? If it’s a factor like hours, is there a way to mitigate it? I’m really sorry you are going through this and I hope you can pull through.
Thanks @kpmg! I’m honestly not sure. Hours contribute but I think it’s partly that I’m not finding my place. I’ve been at big4, law firms, regional accounting firms, and now I’m in a remote role at a law firm. I’ve learned a lot in each firm, gotten promotions, and the pay increases have put me in a really good spot. But I’m not feeling some sense of fulfillment or connection with my teams. I constantly have this grass is always greener thoughts. I also think the industry can be a little toxic, a lot of my co workers are constantly complaining, it’s “who has the worst client”, “who has the worst boss”, “most work in a week”. On and on.
Wow, so much of what you said resonates with me. I too have tried Big 4, a regional accounting firm, a law firm, and then back to Big 4. Each place has some element of toxicity and for me it primarily has been coworkers and the types of behavior you are describing. I guess the remote element somehow helps me block it out mentally. Throughout my career my love of tax has never waned, but I totally understand the burnout from dealing with the toxicity involved in working at a firm. I have wondered if an environment with better overall work life balance might be less toxic, like the IRS or in house in industry, but I have yet to make a jump to one of those.
So funny! I’ve recently had the same thoughts and started applying to IRS. I wasn’t able to get an interview (or a response even). I’m probably better off because I would have to take a large pay cut. Thanks for commiserating with me!
