Currently working as a tax senior at B4. I’m thinking about being a day trader trading stocks, bitcoins and currencies if i got laid off. Any thoughts, opinions, and suggestions?

Did TBWA/Wildtype have layoffs??

What are the weirdest reasons you have heard for people being laid-off? I have heard someone getting laid off because they missed submitting their time-sheets for 3 times in a year.

Looking for my next opportunity in DC and want to know who will hire?
7 years of experience doing s&o, business transformation, and human capital consulting for big 4’s - most recently freelancing.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

I am an Audit S1 that wants to work in a B4 Forensics practice. Would it be best for me to accept an offer in Forensics at a much smaller firm (local, 150ish total employees) to gain experience and then try to move to B4 Forensics? Or should I stay in Audit and wait for B4 Forensics positions to open up? Please let me know your thoughts!

Hi Verizon Fishes,

Need your feedback on Verizon India Job security, I will be joining soon in Verizon. I got some negative feedback from social media that Verizon fired around 1000 employees without notice. It should have happened on 2019.

I’m going through the interview process with B4 for senior audit position. My salary expecting are around 85k but EY and Deloitte recruiters told me that it was pretty high. Is that true? (Miami location)

Anyone worried about layoffs?

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

Decided that I’m leaving audit today. Trying to understand the full range of opportunities in forensics. Will have my CPA and CFE. So far, I understand that there are client-serving firms like FTI and then the B4 will have forensics arms as well. What are some other forensic accounting roles? Pros and cons? Better than audit? Honestly just looking to learn anything.

Anyone at B4 or in tech making over 250 TC with 12+ yoe?

I'm finding it so hard to make decent coin here.

Subs! Internal subbing is draining the life out of teachers. The sub schedule comes out at the last minute bc of so many teacher absences. It’s the split classes in one period (1/2 Gen Ed and a Special Ed class) Teachers on a cart. Subs pick up students and deliver students. Class changeovers take 10 minutes bc of the domino effect. We’re all waiting for next sub. Teachers are late for their own classes. Students are in chaos with rotating subs. We pay $100 a day. Is the Solution in plain sight?

Any bcg first rounders heard back today? When was your interview?

I've decided to leave public for an Accounting Manager position in private. What are the different types of companies to consider and the pros/cons? What are the best ways to get the position?

Are people looking to leave when for their LinkedIn title - job title, no company listed in the header or am I over analyzing lol

How do you answer “annual compensation requested”? I’ve passed all my CPA parts and one year of tax experience but I don’t want to lowball myself or seem like I’m asking for too much

If you’re working with 2 different recruiters in your job search, do you let them know you’re working with another one (just in case they have any overlapping opportunities) or do you act like they’re the only recruiter you’re working with?

Has anyone heard of Lurie LLP I’m seriously interested in their private client service/wealth advisors

Anyone had good multiple offers and had one the hiring managers pressure you into taking the offer after asking for additional time to think about it?

Expecting an offer this week or early next week, but want to know when you start negotiating the salary? When you receive the call from the company or wait until receiving the formal offer letter? And how should the negotiation start? Through phone calls or emails? Didn’t use recruiter for this position, so I don’t know what is the process here.
