Received bad news from Accenture today. Unsure of what they were looking for. I was referred for on a JMO application.

It could be because they had already met their hiring goal this year, I heard that back in February they were already full. Try again next year.

Definitely due to hiring freeze. Everyone has stopped external hiring at the moment. If you’re already off active duty I’d look into the reserves and jumping on orders for a few months to ride this virus out. Hiring will pick up for sure as soon as it clears.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.
