senior sales executive at atp
Hi all,
I’m looking to relocate to Seattle. Does anyone know if any of the Big 4 are still recruiting campus hires to start in Summer/Fall 2023? I’m open to either Audit or Tax, but I have internship experience in Tax.
I applied and received an offer at a Big 4 in San Francisco (campus hire), but I’ve decided Seattle is the better fit for me as it will be closer to my hometown and family in Vancouver.
Thanks!

Thanks for following up. A senior member of the firm who’s not in my practice group noticed I was off and reached out and has been a tremendous resource. Had my first session yesterday and it went well.
So happy for you. Thank goodness people are getting a clue.
First off, major respect for leaning into both LAP & a therapist! Both are fantastic resources that will be super-helpful, regardless of however your firm navigates it.
And, both (especially a LAP staff or volunteer/mentor) can help you with some ways to navigate dealing with your firm. They help people with those kind of questions all the time, and may even know a thing or two about your specific firm.
Beyond that, you may want to tell someone in HR (if your firm has an HR department or rep, of course) before telling an actual partner or supervisor.  They may be able to speak specifically to what kind of EAP or other resources the firm has. And by doing so you can document the need in case you end up needing time to seek appropriate medical care, which should be protected by the FMLA (again depending on employer size).
Lastly, know that you and your mental well-being are more important than anybody else’s expectations, any clients, or any way of doing business; don’t feel bad for seeking help - in the long run it will be the best thing for your career and productivity – and for the law firm that’s lucky enough to have you!
Please let us know how things are going, lots of us out here on a similar journey feeling alone.
