Hi everyone, how do you bring up during an interview with another big4 or respond to the question without minimizing your chance to get hired : why did you leave your previous job? When you were laid off recently. Already have one month gap on my resume. Also what does Deloitte disclose to the new employer on the background check?

You respond by saying you were laid off. Not a big deal

Just say you were laid off. These firms over hired. I’m a S1 at KPMG and I saw S2s being laid off back in February. These layoffs are based on too many people riding the bench and the M&A market not recovering as expected.

I thought an employer cannot say anything other than what date you stopped working.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
