I currently work at a B4 in tax compliance and have been chatting with some advisory/consulting recruiters to find a job at another PA firm. My only worry is that with the economy slowing down, I start a new job in advisory and have a high risk of being laid off. Any thoughts on this?

Firms are already pulling back and taking measures for recession. If they’re still offering the position they think work will be there for that service line. Wouldn’t be super worried, it’s usually tech that does hire to fire because they’re idiots who have no money management

What type of advisory/consulting

I have this same concern. I’m bored at my current job in industry and found this opportunity at one of the B4. But I’m worried about job security

I would think your job is more secure if you can perform at big4 vs in industry

Find a group that has something to offer during a recession. I work in a specific tax credit group and we are planning how to offer services related to IRA (inflation reduction act). Generally speaking we expect another revenue stream on top of the usual R&D tax credit revenue. Message me if that sounds appealing and want to chat more.

At our firm when COVID hit, consulting staff were laid off first
