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.

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'm getting a MAcc to career change to forensic accounting. What opportunities are available to me with a data analytics heavy MAcc? I'm also tacking on 2 graduate certificates in Applied Statistics and International Economic Policy? For those in the field, would that be useful or not useful (i.e. waste of time)? I'm interested in investigations but also analytics, financial modeling, and expert witness services. Throw in salary potential for bonus points. I'll be getting my CPA, CFE, and CAMS.
