I can refer you to Baker Tilly in Dallas/Chicago OP if you want, we’re hiring. We have deals and a ping pong table in the Dallas office, just saying 😏

Which group?

I'm an audit senior at a big 4 with CPA and had an FP&a internship during college. Thought I'd be a strong applicant but guess not lol

Idk you tell me? I don't even know what the titles mean on here

If you don’t have 2 YoE in audit or prior FDD experience they aren’t going to interview unfortunately. FDD is more competitive at the moment than it was last year.

Must be the region, as I thought we were still hiring in Midwest and Texas.

I believe they just stopped hiring as most roles were filled. Was this in the West Coast by chance?

What region?

Hate to say it, but you kind of missed the boat. Ideal time was 12 to 18 months ago. Will be hot again just will take a year or two.

I have interviews elsewhere just thought it was interesting GT, specifically, rejected me so quickly

Just found out GT is no longer taking anyone at this point unless you have prior FDD experience, as we are at capacity for training. Best of luck OP, big 4 FDD is anyway for exit ops if you are wanting to do IB or corp dev

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.
