100p. Tough job market. Companies know ppl are desperate too. I saw a B4 partner get a manager to join as an associate
That’s vicious and brutal by that partner lol

Of course there's a place for you. In the middle.
I totally agree!!

It only gets harder as you move more senior. My peers can’t find jobs outside of consulting. It doesn’t matter if it’s B4/T2/MBB. Everyone is struggling.

There seems to be no appetite to hire people at that price point or higher. It’s more the uncertainties around everything and all discretionary spending is curtailed. We haven’t seen much money spent in R&D or innovations in the past two years either.
This is so me!
This is me too! Even networking isn’t helping any! 😭
I feel you on this 😩
Literally need to find someone to create a job for you or has hiring power + advocate for you
Sameeee I landed a senior associate job but I don’t feel like I have enough experience to be ready for this 🥴

You know what you just described my current situation - I hadn’t been able to find words for it beforehand
That’s how I feel. Seems companies have a mental cap on finance/accounting people only being worth up to 130k but no more unless you are like super deep in your career and VP/CFO. Kind of questioning this career path at this point.
I tell myself every day I should’ve struggled through dentistry curriculum as I had originally planned 😆
