Depends on the position and industry you are looking for. Audit and Tax, you should not have a hard time.

It's not that bad if you're making typical career moves (audit >> accounting analyst). I think pivoting to less common moves has become more difficult though.

What year are you at Deloitte? Your resume might not be well done. If you have audit/B4 2.5 to 5 years experience, you should have no issues with callbacks

I have this theory that between it being an election year and private equity buying mid size firms that public accounting specifically is whacked.
Idk seems as if industry and us government are hiring 🤷‍♀️

I'm an AR collection supervisor/manager I don't even have a bachelor's degree I barely have an associates degree, and yes the market is that bad..

Our CFO advisory group is hiring. DM me if you’re interested.
