I started my career at PWC audit in 2019 and got laid off last year due to covid. I got an offer and started working at a 2 tier (BDO, RSM, GT... level) accounting firm for 1 month. Now PWC partner extended me an offer to go back. Any thoughts?

I wouldn’t go back to a place that laid me off, unless I had no other options.

Go back and ask for more money. $20k raise outta do it!

But just think about what’s best for you in the long run and whether you’re okay with it

They’re asking you to come back, you have the upper hand, make sure to negotiate.

See if you can ask for a nice pay bump, more PTO, choose your industry, etc.

Wait for a signed offer letter and background clearance, before saying anything to your current employer.

Thank you!

Trust me you can earn more in mid tier firm...

Don’t think I’d ever go back to a place that laid me off.

I have a strong dislike of RSM, but you are not going to get forward momentum at pwc if you were laid off. That is very odd you were laid off and they ask you back.

Are you happy where you are? Are you in the US? I thought PwC US didn’t lay anyone off in 2020 other than for performance issues.

Agreed, P2. That’s always been my understanding too.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.
