Does the time of year still play a role in getting hired for a staff or senior accountant position? I've heard I should hold off until after April to kick off my search, but I'm seeing plenty of job postings that look like the real deal. Are companies actually conducting interviews during busy season?

I like to think it’s at least leveling out now. Still depends a lot on the industry, but I’m at least starting to see more legitimate job posts.

If you see a job posting not sure why you would wait to apply and risk it being filled. People quit throughout the year and companies hire when they have needs. Only exception to this I can think of is campus recruiting for college grads at firms.

Why hold off when you see job postings? I would ask myself if that makes sense to do given the facts and proceed on evidence.

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended.

I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
