Been job hunting for the past 4 months and not a single job offer yet. Is this weird for someone who has lots of experience and coming from Big 4? Majorly depressing. 😔😞

Not weird at all. Depending on your role it is common. The higher you are in an organization the longer it takes to find a position.

Keep networking and taking care of yourself. You will find something.

Not at all! I’ve been actively pursuing for a month. There have been roles that are an exact match to what I’m doing right now and I still get rejected without even an interview call.

@PWC2 - what is your skill set? If it is a generic one like say BA or QA then there are lot of candidates in the job market who may be quoting too low of an expected compensation or may be local to the job location. Need to get specialized skills that make u stand out among the rest.. that said.. don't give up.. be persistent.. I have had interviews when I least expected to get one..

Hey friends! So I left PwC (risk assurance, did a bit of consulting) about 4 years ago for industry, and have been working in supply chain ever since for a major retailer.

I know it wouldn’t be quite the same as the hours as big 4, but I don’t know enough to be sure if it’s the right fit. Any advice?
