There isn't a need to avoid it, but don't volunteer it, either. Be honest if you are asked about it. Layoffs are common now and no decent recruiter or hiring manager is going to be surprised by one.

Agree. Dont offer that information, but dont lie about it if asked.

No, if u getting severance for 6 weekd then u are still employed at Deloitte. Let me know if you are looking for job? We are hiring from big 4 if you are in Audit and have atleast 2 to 3 busy season under your belt

Interested. Are you fully remote ?

I wouldn't. I would just say that you are looking for a new role. I don't think I would tell them that I was laid off unless I absolutely had to.

I am client basis so it depends on what type of client I have , I had some local clients where it was in person hybrid but most of my clients are remote

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.
