Scary world within PwC right now. No one is safe. This has taught me to never put all eggs in one basket. Don't stay loyal to a firm that won't show the same to you. You do what is best for you and your family. Fuck loyalty nowadays.

PwC 10, you didn't get fired. You were laid off. There is a difference. You shouldn't be ashamed if you were laid off. If any employer doesn't want to hire you because your previous firm couldn't keep its financials in check, it's their loss... Not yours

Needing help on deciphering my true salary for the time being. I graduated at 17 with an associate’s in Cyber Defense.

I’m currently making 45k which I feel like is low after gaining some insight .
