As a former accountant in PA, can confirm. And the layoffs are a slap in the face. But, that said, the experience did get me where I am today.

People just need to go in with a "Imma get mine" attitude and don't get burned from buying into the BS "Culture". Don't believe that any higherups work/promises means as much as the dirt your shoes dragged into the office. It's late stage capitalism. Especially in PA, we don't produce anything that truly helps the greater good. Just cogs in the machine. Get paid, get that reference, dip the faq out.

@tax manager, no, they have their eyes open. Do you think the public accounting work culture is healthy? Do you think the partners at the firm are genuinely concerned about you more than the size of their distributions?

Get real

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.
