I’d love to see some year by year comparisons. They also deserve the turnover

I’m not big 4 but at my firm I remember going into a conference room with 10 people two years ago to discuss a large client. Only me and one other person are still here from that team.

I just saw a new email of someone resigning.

They were an experienced hire whose experience was not what they represented and didn’t pick up new things as quickly as they needed to. They more or less checked out, then a couple weeks ago apparently told the head of their department they expected to be promoted this year. It was kind of a Jerry Maguire moment. They wrote their own ticket out the door with such a wide gap between their expectations and reality.

Guessing 30% would be a fair estimate

Lol I’m a senior so that would be super fun! 😅

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
