If you know you're about to be placed on PIP, you should try to quit before busy season, right?

I know someone who was put in PIP and worked like 200% utilization during busy season, but still let go. The person should have rather focused on finding a new role instead of working like crazy. If no team in your group want to work with you, there is no turning back unfortunately. Good luck.

Thanks! Yeah, they let people go right after busy season, and yet they call us horrible if we quit right before. I'm going to start looking around now.

It is always easier to get a job when you have a job.

You might be asked. I wasn’t and just received an offer at a different firm. It is possible an employer could reach out to your current employer to confirm you are employed there.

They are pretty good at giving you hint, so take it seriously. Good luck with your job search, you’ll be much happier to leave than proving yourself to them, not worth it at all

some people can make it back from a PIP. seen it a few times.

I completely agree with the above post.
Get out and start a new job.

I’d consider it. If you are forced to quit, you will technically need to check the box on future applications that you were forced to resign/quit/fired. Busy season is the time to establish yourself with an employer. If you are getting laid off afterwards, you might as well switch I would think.

Would you get severance after the PIP?

Not sure. I haven't been officially put on PIP yet, but they mentioned that it might happen.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
