Me, had multiple interviews the same week I left and a few scheduled for the following week. Accepted an offer the week after I left.

Was also able to take over a month between jobs. 10/10 Would do again.

If you’re trying to switch to another job in public accounting, feel free to leave without another job lined up- you can get an offer within the week

Otherwise, it might take longer (weeks to months, depending on what you’re interested in)
