Idk how EY is … but are you saying you “resigned” because you took the exit versus the PIP? I.e., you were laid off / coached out?

Don’t lie, people will read right through that. Just be honest. Every big4 is laying people off. It won’t look negatively if you’re honest.

Shoulda waited till they pay out the bonus

I’m so sorry to hear that. Since you resigned, you must have a reason to leave without a job line up. I think just be honest and explain it while you’re doing interviews if your work performance was not bad and you resigned due to other reasons. This is what I just have been thru since I was so stress. I was lucky enough to have a job offer3 days before my last day at my previous company. Good luck and hope you all the best.

Have a potential opportunity for you depending on your location. DM me
