Feel free to DM me. I was once at EY FTDS and left for greener pastures. I’m not sure if my company is looking to hire, but I’d be happy to share some of my favorite recruiters’ contact information.

I don’t think it’s doom and gloom at all. Conversations I’ve had were that this mostly addressed capacity issues because retention rate has been too high and they’re making room for promotions and bonuses. I feel for those separated but if people don’t quit, someone’s going to get squeezed. And discovery and investigations are both up big for the year.

Fill us in on the details. How many people were let go ?

I don’t think we really know. There hasn’t been an announcement.

I was let go as part of the RIF and I feel like my morale might be better than some of the folks I’m leaving behind.

I’m sorry to hear that, morale is pretty bad

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
