Is it a good idea to speak to another audit manager if you want to transfer? Spoke to my previous PM and got the standard 'need to stay for another peak', advisory isn't willing to step on toes, and new PM says 'we're understaffed'. I'm having a breakdown due to audit and can't handle it any longer but I can't afford a resume gap. Worried about getting fired since we don't have much labour laws here

Join the club - every auditor wants to switch but cant

I’ll be brutally honest - you’re not switching service lines right now. Advisory is laying people off and probably isn’t done. Just wait a few months until things improve and try again then.

Find an open role that you would be willing to take and talk with the hiring partner of the new group and then the managing partner of your group. If the new group likes you enough then they’ll advocate for you to be able to switch. The Big 4 doesn’t move fast, so be prepared to wait. Alternatively, go to another Big 4 in an open role you want. IMO a manager isn’t a decision maker, so useless to talk to them. They probably just want to keep you on their team so they don’t have to pick up the slack.

Hi fishies! Over the past 2.5 weeks I’ve had two interviews with an agency. I thought both interviews went really well, and they said the same.

Would you follow-up at all?
