Hi guys, I was wondering how hard is it to get fired or not promoted? What do you have to do? Is it the same for audit or tax?

Much easier to not be promoted. If you aren't demonstrating the skills needed at the next level and proving it with experience it's very easy to say "no they need another year."

I had a senior level new hire as a counselee who decided he'd work remotely 100% of the time on his second day. He had no idea how to use firm software or desire to learn it and no one wanted him on their projects because he wasn't even performing at a new hire staff level. He would basically get workpapers from associate, charge the budgeted time, then pass it along to the manager without any comments. It took 6 months to get him on a PIP and from there I think he had over a month to not work and still get paid.

Not at all, just that they didn't think you were ready. I was promoted to sr associate at 2.5 years when most of my peers were 1.5 because I didn't have enough experience senioring projects. I was even told by one of my managers that as of the meeting I was on the list to be promoted so I must have been a partner veto.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations.

I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago
