I left public after 7 years. I spent 4 in industry. I've been back in public for 16 years. I'm not a kool aid drinker, trust me. Public accounting has its bad side...I completely understand. Just saying bad stretches pass, usually. Decisions made under stress are usually not the best.

P1 thank you. But unfortunately the kool aid has been wearing off for sometime and today was the last straw. You and HR should start brewing a stronger variety.

How long did it take you to make partner after you came back? Audit or tax?

It was quick...one year.

Huh? So you made partner after 8 years in public?

@OP don't trust the recruiters too fully. They want to place you but they're really working for the hiring manager, not for you. Don't forget that (just cautionary, not saying to avoid them)

AS1-that sort of sounds like HR and recruiting in public accounting too. 🙄

@OP yeah, best bet is a headhunter who you pay if you really want an advocate. But recruiters paid by future employer are free to you and can be a great tool.

Hey guys,

I really need your help.

I recently got a good opportunity in one of the Mncs to work but i was worried as i had absconded from one of the companies just after 2 months of working there due to mental torture.

I have a shown the same as gap for personal reasons in my resume.

Will i have any problem after joining this new MNC during background verification as per the standards?..

Really need your help if anyone has faced this situation or know anything on the same.

Thank you

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
