I used to work as an auditor at a Big 4 firm but was laid off due to restructuring. My time there was relatively short, and since then I’ve been exploring other opportunities. Honestly, I’d really love to get back into a Big 4 firm. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to make that happen? Do I connect with recruiters, senior managers, or partners to get a referral? Thanks

Lmaooo

Referrals from current employees are your best bet, it's a tough job market right now though as you are likely more aware than I am. If you get out to places where you can network in person with B4 execs (AICPA/state CPA stuff, stuff at your alma mater, etc.) I'd be pretty forward with saying you're looking to be an auditor and that you got side tracked by this restructuring and ask if they can connect you with somebody who is doing hiring in the city. Personally I'm always impressed by people who are proactive and try to help them out if it makes sense. Good luck.

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?

So my peers in my team earn double what I earn and work significantly less, get promoted over me and have bonuses. Also get to make decisions over my goals and such. I have a new leadership now but how do I escape this?

Is there something against doing back to back offers at PwC or any of the other big four? I have two accepted offers with PwC next summer and would love to do both if the dates don't overlap (internship and a Masters fellowship). I was told that even if the dates don't overlap when they are announced sometime next year, I may still not be able to do both because of reasons related to the firm?
If this is the case then I may have look for another internship that I can do before the fellowship.
