Spent 4+ years as CMO of startup company. It was an incredible learning experience but also a very difficult uphill battle trying to steer the owners and the company in the right direction. I’ve just exited the company as of 11/18. The owners expected to storm the marketplace and emerge as a number one brand at only 6 years old without putting in the work.Company had a very hard time understanding the concept of a unique value proposition. Hoping to find a new remote (full time) position ASAP

Hi everyone,
the changes in the high-tech market got to the place I called home for the last year, and unfortunately I was laid off this week, so I wanted to see if anyone here might help me finding my next home?
I have 4 years of full cycle recruiting working as part of a global team, I’ve been recruiting all kinds of position both technical and non-technical, and now looking for a place to bring my passion for recruiting and my love for helping people find their next career!

All the firms are pushing this quietly. KPMG is 3 days/week in the office and telling teams they are not a remote workforce. DT is requiring multiple days in the office every week in a lot of offices. PwC leadership is asking partners and directors to push being back in the office. Good for EY for being open and public about it.
Honestly I’m not sure why anyone is so against being in the office. Seniors and associates are not progressing the way they did 5 years ago. And where are people going to go? Everyone who touts the fully remote options can’t show them to me or they realize there is a pay gap with those now. Especially in high cost markets where fully remote means instead of paying NY salaries they can pay Peoria salaries.
I'm a bit out of my element here being a tax guy in Industry, but wanted to reply to to part of SD OP.
"Honestly not sure why anyone is against being in the office"
I missed my first daughter's first steps. First words. First time dancing to wheels on the bus. A consequence to leaving before she was awake and getting home after she was in bed for the first couple years of her life. She doesn't remember or care, but I do. My second daughter came right before Covid, and I didn't miss those things because I was home. I work to live, not live to work so I wouldn't trade that for double my salary.
Tax is a bit different than assurance and I also totally get that kids fresh out of school learn better with some structure. But your ignorance of "why" WFH has been totally life changing for young and mid-career professionals exposes a glaring deficiency in your ability to connect with the teams that report to you.
However remote work evolves as the accounting industry moves out of Covid era, take some time to get to know your teams and what they value...

If we can train people in India how to audit client data that we send them, I think we can do that domestically too. How much of an effort was put into teaching staff domestically on a remote basis?
This job isn’t that glamorous. I think there a lot of people who started 10-20 years ago and don’t realize it’s not a first choice any more because the pay compare to the WLB is pretty bad. There is a lot of moaning and groaning on here about people coming into the office, pulling up bootstraps, etc. that misses the point that no one wants to do that any longer than they have to. If this is your outlook realize quality people will leave as soon as something better is available.
I like how all these return to office requests have nothing other than meaningless metrics on things like culture
Associates are no longer getting coffee and meal orders all day. We send simple work overseas so they aren’t learning. How is sitting next to you any better? Do you know about the internet?
As a manager I can tell the quality of staffs and senior 1 significantly reduced and got worse during covid, to no fault of their own.
And as we are transitioning more in person, same staffs who struggled for concepts 2 months ago are slowly and gradually picking up.
Agreed 100%. I also feel like we have missed out on many learning opportunities we otherwise would have had in office together. Like all of the knowledge you overhear as teams discuss procedures and what not.
Yeah. Guess they want to reduce headcount.
I'm a senior with 3 years of experience in tax. Any role open for me in PWC? :D
What an excellent message for an industry already experiencing record burnout and attrition. This is really going to help the recruiting stats…

To be fair, the turnover is not unheard of. Maybe not in the last 10 years, but it has definitely been a staple before.
BS! What survey? Conducted when? Did they considered everyone? F that

I will literally start firing out applications if PwC starts doing this.

SD1 - things change and evolve and we have options now that seem to work some people and firms if that is the intention. I work for a PA firm where I was hired 100% remote and I get paid HCOL while living in LCOL, both sides are happy so what’s the issue? The only issue is that some firms just don’t want that and that’s fine, but just know there are other options out there so be expected to compete with that.
Just leave. I used to work for EY. PwC is better. People are far more relaxed about WFH here. This is the DUMBEST boomer fixation. It’s a sign the firm honestly has the wrong focus in terms of growth. Get out.
Firms are talking out of both sides of their mouth on this. They are saying being in person is critical for more effective work. They are also saying your offshore teams are no different than the core team and need to be leveraged as much as possible.

Dm for referral if you want to continue to work fully remote.
Welp, looks like it's time to jump
Moved 2 people from EY to PwC for virtual work already. DM me.
Is anyone in audit really still working 100% remotely though? If their team is local? Obviously a different story if your team isn’t from the same office for various reasons. I don’t think this was intended to be earth shattering news; just trying to show it’s firmwide messaging since people seem to get annoyed when it’s all team/partner dependent.
I'm 100% remote. Meetup for like team events, happy hours is all.

Sometimes a balance needs to happen. Especially for my associates and seniors, the last three years has shown me that the in-person groups have vastly outperformed my virtual associates.
There is just more efficient learning when you're near me as oppose to having to set up calls all the time.
Sorry if you're a decent performing WFH associate but the rest of your groups have not kept up and so it's bound to happen.
I think it’s a team effort though, because as a staff most of my managers+ leaned in to virtual. It doesn’t matter how many times per week, you go in if everything would still be virtual. It’s like the blind leading the blind.
I’ll go in when my clients go in
Dm for referral
They got tired of paying for the office space lol
Need a referral? PwC still has virtual.
They’re doing this because they want a few folks to quit so they won’t have as high RIF expenses in the impending recession.
