Signed with a boutique firm (~ 70 ppl) and they’re asking me to come in a month prior to my start date for a week long IN PERSON training (paid).

Then I find out an old colleague of mine who was fired for incompetence is the only other person at that training.

I’m having major doubts about this firm now, any tips on what to do? I’ve already resigned

I don't think there's much you can do unfortunately, but the holidays are coming anyways so I would suggest just keeping an open mind with this boutique, but also shoot your shot at other firms

Yes but if you’re never going back to that boutique who cares.

If you’re there less than a month just leave it off your resume in the future.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off.
