I recently started applying to jobs outside of PA and I’m hoping to get out in late March/April. Any tips on staying motivated? I don’t want my work to suffer but I’m having such a hard time staying focused and motivated. (For reference I’m a Staff 2 with 2 busy seasons and have pre-PA work experience... PA life ain’t for me 🙄)

I’m in same boat. I’m actively looking for other jobs, so I’m struggling to find motivation. The threat of getting a bad review used to motivate me, but I don’t plan to be around for the next round of reviews. I don’t have any advice to help, but would love to hear other people’s advice!

I was in the same boat. The process takes a long time. Job market is not great either. I would suggest to do minimum required client chargeable hours until you receive the offer. Some firms let go people if they are below a certain threshold. Please remember it is a long waiting game. Keep working like you do until you get the offer. All the best.

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.
