I’m kind of worried about the fallout from the Iran war and how it’s going to affect our sector. I know companies will still need accountants but the job market could slow due to the uncertainty. Am I overthinking it?

how would the Iran War affect the Accounting job sector ?

I would say with fuel prices going through the roof, some companies won’t be able to function, higher unemployment. It’s not specific to the accountancy sector but most of the job market will be affected

Yes you are over thinking it. There has been a new war started across the globe just about every year for the last 25 years

Elaborate?

I don't think you are overthinking it. In fact, the job market has already slowed way down. I know tons of people who have been looking for roles for months and haven't been able to find anything. You definitely aren't alone.

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking that. It’s a scary time at the moment and I believe it’s going to get worse before it gets better unfortunately

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
