Seeing all these “got laid off” posts and I’m honestly surprised. Which firms are laying people off? Thought every firm had staff shortages.

Layoffs generally don't happen during busy season. What does happen is some people turn out to suck at public accounting, or are a bad fit for the firm's culture, or they piss off the wrong person, and are fired.

Even then you’ve got to be really, really bad to not get held around until April at least.

Additional Posts in Audit Bowl

I work at a mid tier firm in an audit group of ~20 people. We’ve recently had two seniors and a manager leave, and I just found out another senior with a ton of big jobs is leaving in three weeks. I also just found out I’m being promoted to senior with a raise of 10%. In light of all these departures though, I kind of want to ask for more.... should I? And what % raise is appropriate? Any insight appreciated!
