I got laid off after bringing severe quality concerns to the Chief Compliance Officer for SOC reports being chucked out the door. They sent me a BS severance which essentially said I can’t talk to anyone but my spouse about my work experience. I rejected it. I hired a lawyer. Is there anything else I should be doing? Literally fired directly after this meeting.

I have no idea, but keep fighting the good fight, if it’s not too detrimental to you personally. I hate that assurance has turned into such a joke. Maybe it always has been idk

The lawyer isn’t a CPA.

Not sure I understand. You work for company that received poor results on its SOC audit report and when you brought it up you got fired? Or the service auditor you're using does subpar work and you brought that up with your CCO? I feel like I'm missing something here but interested to know more.

The first thing is not posting anything on any social media about it.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
