Apply online to other big 4, if it's a promo year finish one busy season as your new role, unless they are willing to start you as the same role. Transfers are hard to popular offices like LA, NYC unless it's one of the groups that are bleeding people (SALT, RE, IM, etc).

Would appreciate any input. My friend is transitioning to another job. She’s put 4-week notice in accordance with her contract. However, seems like her employer is giving her hell for such “short notice”🤷‍♀️ There are concerns for her due to small industry in this area. Potential retaliation? Is there anything I could recommend her? She still has 4 weeks with them 🤦‍♀️

hi! just got promoted to senior & think it’s finally time to leave. not because i finally got the senior title, but because public accounting is making my life miserable.

I recently realized that I don’t care to have a prestigious consulting job, I care to have a job to feed myself and allow me to dedicate time to other entrepreneurial ventures/investments. I think it’d be a job that will keep stress to a minimum (or very rarely), pay a healthy amount (e.g. 80 - 90 for 2 YOE in a MCOL), and consistently work a firm 40 hours or less, has relatively easy work, and fully remote. can only think of an internal auditor/contractor role.

Any suggestions?

Thoughts on leaving a new job you’ve only been in for a few months? Started at a new firm in advisory and really don’t like it. Not what I thought it was going to be. I want to get out but how would that look to other employers? Most of the reason why I don’t like the new group is because of the people/team. I wish I could go back and look into another firm. I think I want to go industry now. Thoughts on leaving so soon?

Reminder: if looking to stay in PA, try to talk to literally anyone at the company you're applying to and have them refer you. Whenever possible, do not work through a recruiter. They are more expensive for the company which makes you less attractive, and decreases the comp/ sign on bonus in some cases.
