Hi ladies! I’m on the verge of being out of my job at my firm, which is not a development I could have seen coming, if I’m being honest. I am so lost on the first place I should be looking for new roles. I’m looking on LinkedIn and reaching out to old connections, but I haven’t had to look for a job since I was a senior in college, and that was 5 years ago. I would appreciate any advice you can offer as I navigate this unexpected change!

I’m not on linked in I just googled - searched firms/industries near me or places I already have an idea about and looked on their job boards also searched top recruiters in accounting reached out to two - found 3 interviews with this approach and received offers from all three firms.

I can give you an EY referral.

Where do you work? And what kind of job are you looking for? I could put in a referral at my company if you’re interested in something there.

An internal move would be incredibly difficult in my situation. I was already in the works to transfer to a different practice before this situation occurred. I wouldn’t have tried to transfer if I had known what was coming.

I was able to land something within 2 weeks with the help of a solid recruiter. If you’re able to get a referral from KPMG1 I’d definitely go with that. I notice with the current job market the best way to land something is through networking.

Fair haha, just wasn’t sure they’d be hiring if they just had layoffs

We’re hiring auditors at my mid tier firm. (Top 30) private companies only tho no public. We do have a sox compliance dept. let me know if you’d like a referral

Out of curiosity, what makes you so sure you will be out of a job at the firm soon?

If there is unexpected feedback this is something u need to involve your coach in
Your team also have to give facts in the snapshot to support what they are saying

I work in sf and Nyc and have now saved enough where I’m wondering if it makes sense to buy rather than rent an apartment as an investment.

Curious if anyone’s gone through this process before and have thoughts ?
