I'm an audit staff and the writing is on the wall that I'm getting fired soon. I don't have my CPA yet. Planning to go to industry because I hate the long hours. What kind of jobs/titles would I be able to land with 1 year of big 4 and CPA title in progress? Will my career be stunted?

How do you know you’re getting the boot? For you to get fired after one year in audit you would have to actively sabotage the audit and try to fist fight the partner on the engagement. Even then I still think they’d find a way to keep you around.

Curious how you’re so sure you’ll be fired

First years get every benefit of the doubt

So you're saying I don't need to update my resume for this?

How do you know you're gonna get fired?

Did you sleep with the OMP’s wife or something.

My first review was really bad. My second was a lot better but it doesn't matter. My counselor is saying that a PIP is possible just because of that

The writing isnt on the wall. Youre not on a PIP so keep it up and hope you don't get one.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
