At 3 YOE and want to exit, but a lot of companies in the DC area (Hilton/Marriott, Capital One, Fannie Mae) have hiring freezes. Thoughts on waiting a year to ride out the pandemic and trying to make manager before exiting?

Job market is pretty tough now. I would go look but don’t expect anything to come immediately. If there is no burning platform to leave then maybe staying for a year (while looking) is the best strategy

There’s just too much uncertainty right now. The private sector places aren’t sure what’s going to happen given economic impacts of COVID and the govt contractors/consulting shops aren’t sure what’s happening with the election (plus FY21 awards haven’t gone out so unknowns about what projects will be going on in 6 mos).

Generally I say search but have low expectations given the climate. I imagine demand for hiring will pick up in 6-12 months.

Sure about capital one? Saw some postings on LinkedIn this morning

@TM1, is there anything you’d advise I do at this point, or just wait for the recruiter to reach out? I passed the phone screen but then hiring was frozen

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
