Recently laid off. Not from EY, but from an industry role. Applied and interviewed for weeks and weeks. The only offer I have at hand is at another B4. Not sure if I am ready to go back to public again. Should I take it or leave it and continue to apply elsewhere?

In today's job market... unless you don't have to work, take the offer in hand. You've already said you've been at this for a while, not guarantees you find something else better or at all.

Any paycheck is better than no paycheck.

You can always just take the big 4 offer, then just keep applying to other roles. Like the previous reply said, job market is ruff right now

Any googlers that can offer a perspective? Cleared all interviews for TPM. No HC review yet, as the recruiter says the new process is to find a match before HC. Had conversations with 3-4 teams so far, many times great feedback/compliments even during the team matching chat, but no successful match yet. I am told that there were internal candidates that fit the role better. The wait on since May, starting to lose hope now. Is team matching supposed to be this hard?

After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
