Average. There is still demand, especially for strong candidates with experience. It’s not the free for all it was coming out of COVID, so in comparison it looks weak, but historically speaking it’s pretty average and not nearly as poor as the truly bad times (think post-2008 financial crisis).

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Question for my friend at KPMG. Her MDs and Partners have been directing her to eat her hours. If she charges over 45 hours she will get emails from management and when she charges over 65 she got a call from a PPMD.

It doesn’t seem right that she’s having to eat those hours and feel scared when she’s working til 10/12 every night.
