Recently laid off from KPMG audit after 3 years. I’m on an H1B so odds are tough. If anyone could help me with a referral to a transaction services/restructuring role at another services firm or middle market bank, would be grateful. I know it’s a long shot but thought it’s worth posting.

I'm interested in how to give guidance to a close friend in this situation. He has his wife and newborn with him and doesn't want to go back to his country if avoidable. Are companies open towards taking on visa sponsorship these days?

If he has an existing H1B, it’s a bit easier. Company needs to pay the $2.5/3k filing fee and can take over his remaining H1B validity essentially.

However it’s tough to go up against similarly qualified domestic applicants.

Can you try PwC private company audit? Busy season is coming up so they are still recruiting. Transaction services are tough these days. Also restructuring usually needs modeling experiences so can be difficult. Good luck OP. I’m on visa too and I know times are tough

No one feels fulfilled in audit, right?

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
