A lot of positions are open that don’t always get formally posted. I would try to connect with anyone at the firm you are looking at. Can be anyone, but they can hand your resume directly to their recruiters and move the process more quickly. Agree that the during the traditional busy season, there will be less openings, but by April, there will be a lot of movement and more opportunities.

When I worked at EY , they always said that staffing for second year was really challenging. Try to find an in with someone at the firm you want to go to and be willing to make a lateral move… how big 4 audits and operates versus how smaller firms operate are totally different. … This is because of the size of the companies they audit. so you’ll need to show that you are coachable and that you want to learn a different way of doing things - without putting anyone down, of course.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
