I joined KPMG out of undergrad knowing that it’s not an environment I didn’t want to stay in. I do think it’s a great company, but it didn’t align with my professional preferences. I left after a year and a half and got my dream job. Don’t listen to anyone that says there’s a timeline, leave when you’re ready and find something more exciting and aligned with your interests

agreed. People to much emphasis on the name; do what makes you happier because a huge chunk of your week is spent at work. Start by networking internally for other opportunities, then externally with those in your LinkedIn, and those you meet at events. It’s totally fine to hit up a stranger on LinkedIn when you’re interested in their profile - you’d be surprised how many are willing to jump on the phone. There’s plenty to learn at KPMG/B4s but you need to proactively seek it out

Try switching practice or service lines

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
