I recently left PwC (less than 3 months) but I don’t think the place I’m at is the right fit. Recruiter made it seem like there was great flexibility at this place and I took it for granted when interviewing (lesson learnt on my part). I’m trying to decide if going back is better or applying for new jobs is the better option. If I apply how do I present my current situation. I don’t want to make it seem like I was out of a jobfor the last 2-3 months. If going back who do I start the convo with?

What group were you in? I’d suggest just reaching out to whatever Partner you were closest with and having an open and honest convo about how you thought the grass would be greener, and it wasn’t. Lots of ppl have had this happen over the years it’s more common than you think

Agree

I was in this position last year. I boomeranged back and I’ve actually gotten the flexibility I was looking for. A big part of the problem was not sticking to my boundaries before too.

Boomerang back if you envision doing at least a few years at pwc. Don’t boomerang back if you plan to leave again in 6 months.

I left as a M2. So most likely another 3 years or so before I am forced to really think about my next move.

Boomeranging is best. PWC know you. If you went to a new job they would be highly skeptical that you would stay long term

Thanks VP… my biggest struggle is if I’m giving the new company a fair chance after so little time but sometimes you just know. Decisions decisions
