Is now a good time to move given the economic climate? In final stage for interview at Big4 but worried about hiring freeze/offers being rescinded/layoffs of new hires. Are these valid worries or am I being paranoid?

There are hiring freezes in some departments at D at the moment, but I haven't been here long enough to really comment on the likelihood of layoffs during a downturn.

I don't think the chances are high from what some people have said? There are no guarantees in business though is the bottom line. It's all about weighing up the risks but it didn't stop me making the move recently.

SC&NO within ET&P is one. I've spoken to others who have just generally said that there are hiring freezes in place in some parts of the business.

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?
