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.

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.

3) other approach?

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?
