My company has just cut its finance team down from 7 to 3 but luckily I was one of those who managed to keep their job. The financials don’t look great at the moment but we’ve been told by directors that there’s plans in place to get government funding within the next 12 months. However, I don’t know if this is true or just a way to get the rest of us to stick around. Should I jump before I’m pushed and start looking for another job or should I wait it out to see if the funding comes?

Doesn’t hurt to look. And can 3 people really do the jobs of 7 in a sustainable way?

Technically it’s not 3 doing 7 because they’ve cut back on their construction work over the last few months so there isn’t as much work to do now. But yeah I can always have a look to see what’s out there

Yes, of course. You should look

Thanks, think I’ll contact some recruiters at the start of the week

Costs nothing to start looking.

True, there’s no harm in it

Always start looking in situations like these. You never know what’s going to happen and it’s better to be prepared than not. It’s also not fun to keep working somewhere that’s struggling - the culture shifts and you end up doing the work of 2/3 ppl that have left

Yeah I’ve taken on quite a bit of additional work already and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more to come soon. No harm to looking at the job market

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me.. I sent email to my senior manager and got response that you can use flexibility and work in any Gds office in India. However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?

And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?

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.
