Been in my role for 6 months but want out. Should I still stick around and complete a year so it doesn't look bad on my resume? I have 2 years of industry experience 1 year in one company and one year in another so I have a feeling my resume might lack longevity

makes sense thanks

Try to make it a year if you can. But don’t put your sanity and mental health on the line over it. If you really hate it, start putting in resumes elsewhere, and lead with that limitation when you’re interviewing.

“Hey, I know I have only been at EY for six months, but this is just not the job I thought I was interviewing for. In fact, the only reason I stuck around for 6 months is because I thought only having one month on my resume would be worse.”

Thank you!!

Do what you feel is best. There’s the optics on a CV, but there’s always the explanation that X new opportunity was better aligned to where you wanted your career to go.

I left EY after a year and don’t regret it. I also tried leaving at the 6 month mark and managed to get interviews (albeit when the market was better). Leave if you’re not happy 🤷‍♂️

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Hi All,

Feeling a bit uncomfortable now as in my 8years career it is happening the first time that I am idle for a whole month, also there is no one to interact with. This whole atmosphere is now making me loose my confidence.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
