Depends on your team and workload. If it’s light they’re more than likely to just let you leave

If I wait until 2 weeks it’s right before the winter break holidays so it’s technically 2 weeks but no one is working during that time. But if I give notice earlier I also don’t want to be let go and lose all of my vacation time that I was going to use during the winter holiday. (The offer isn’t to another Big4)

Tell them two weeks before your new start date. So you can get paid the while time.

Yeah they might screw you over with the holidays. I wouldn’t trust them.

Hi! Is anyone hiring for mid/entry level in house recruiters either located in the San Diego area or remote?

I’m have no preference to the industry, though trying something I haven’t before would be cool. I’ve had final stage interviews with a few other companies, but due to the looks of the economy right now they have unfortunately put a pause of hiring.

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.
