I‘ve made it to the final stages with a Big 4, but things have stalled. The recruiter said they're waiting for partner approval before we go any further. It’s been about a month. Is this the usual amount of time it takes for big companies like these to get back to you? Or should I take the hint that they've moved on?

I wouldn't stop applying for jobs until I have a job offer in hand.

Not sure about your specific situation, but firms are known to fire/layoff people after busy season. It seems unusual to be brought on at the same time as others are being or will be let go.

Depends on your level? That happened to me, but checked in regularly and soon got the offer

I’d just keep applying to places. Nothing is finalised until you’ve signed on the dotted line

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
