I’ve been working at a big4 in audit but haven’t had a client in months. Can I take up another accounting job? I know it’s not allowed per the contract but how risky is it? How will they find out?

Breh just get a new job that you actually want and leave.you’re on the chopping block of the next layoffs. Prep that resume and get it out there. I wouldn’t try to do 2 jobs because you’d probably land a shitty second job if you’re trying to split time

Yes. I do it. I have 3 remote jobs. It’s pretty easy

It’s not that deep bro. You just put what job you want on the resume and they will verify it. They don’t verify what you don’t put on the forms

What have you been doing?

I agree with SM1
I don’t know why you haven’t had a client for months, but usually it’s not a good sign.

Left b4 consulting for f500 industry (pharma). Much of what was promised was blatantly false or hasn’t panned out. However, the pay (around 300k) and WLB are real.

Questions about job hopping-
My average tenure at a company is ~1.5 years (with ~11 YOE), but each jump I've made has yielded progressive/tangible career growth.

I'm concerned after my most recent jump (went from a product director to a head of product position at a different, smaller company after only a year) that I've kind of poisoned future career prospects at larger companies.

Any insights on whether this type of job hopping is a complete deal breaker for potential HMs?

One constantly is under threat of having land annexed by Israel, but it isn't the one in the peace agreement, and Netanyahu has already said this agreement doesn't alter plans

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.
