The job market is pretty bad, I won't lie to you! I've been in the industry for over two decades and I've never had such a hard time even getting interviews, much less finding a job.

I’ve been looking since June, no luck so far. Every once in a while I get an interview but no offers. I figure time is on my side since I have waited so long, but who can tell.

Most companies are not doing remote

Overall, not great. There is still some opportunity out there, but remote is particularly hard since so many are able to apply for it. Are you finding a lot of job posts?

Took me about 9 months and 100 interviews to leave EY as a senior (with CPA) for a remote industry job

Overall the job market is not that great, and if you are looking for a remote only role, that is even worse since many legit companies would want you in the office at least a couple days per week on a hybrid schedule. You may need to open up to hybrid opportunities as well, and not limit yourself to remote only.

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!
