I’m on the verge of being out of my job at my firm, which is not a development I could have seen coming, if I’m being honest. I am so lost on the first place I should be looking for new roles. I’m looking on LinkedIn and reaching out to old connections, but I haven’t had to look for a job since I was a senior in college, and that was 5 years ago. I would appreciate any advice you can offer as I navigate this unexpected change!

I have 4 years of B4 audit experience and am a CPA.

Yeah that will make a big difference. Are you using LinkedIn Premium? You can try the first month free. Let recruiters know you are open to working. When I was in a similar spot I just talked to every recruiter I could on LinkedIn and let them do most of the work for me. My current job, which I genuinely like and got me a raise, I got because a random recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn and I got on a phone call with her. They were offering less than what I wanted but I told them the minimum I would accept (which was still a good raise for me - like 25%) and they gave it to me. This was 1 year ago.

Hey! I have a talent pool and am working on a ton of Senior / Manager roles in audit and tax through Big 4 Transparency.

It’s a bit of a different style where you’ll be contacted ONLY for roles that match your criteria and I pay you $1,000 for successful placements.

If you’re interested it takes about 2 mins to fill out, include a short narrative about this convo in the last field.
