Has anyone seen any signs of an upturn in the job market? Could do with some positive news right about now...

Not yet. I still see a lot of the same roles on the job sites with similar pay bands (noticeable decreases compared to the employee labor market a few years ago). There are still a lot of roles where orgs are blatantly trying to merge multiple roles into a single catch-all and others where the pay is depressed to what should be fair given the responsibilities. Hopefully things turn soon because I imagine a lot of people are tired of looking.

I just can’t see any way that the market is going to improve. I may be being very pessimistic but I can only see things getting worse first

No, still seeing the same jobs constantly reposted for the 5th time with 100+applicants

I think there are companies intentionally testing if the reduced staff can keep things from falling apart without backfilling more roles. Cost saving strategy 101 for the short-sighted.

Nope. And somehow i see articles saying they can't fill the accounting gap? Like huh?

It’s a weird one for sure, I don’t really understand what’s going on at the moment

Unfortunately, no. I’ve been looking for months and have seen the same roles and companies over and over. I sure hope it changes soon though.

Why do you think companies are putting the same postings out time and time again?

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!
