Was laid off by Parthenon after some dispute with my Manager. Partner is now offering to place me at EY. Think I could be happy there?

Feel like it depends on this dispute. Feels like getting canned over a dispute is an extreme...

My take: If you feel that this was an unfair decision, you might want to explore other options. Accepting a different service line but still feeling wronged will make you miserable in the firm. As you said, you are pretty experienced and people respect you a lot. You should be able to find better options.

What types of projects have you worked on / enjoyed? EY has so many different groups that I’m sure you could find something you would like. Seems like a good sign the partner is willing to refer you though I am a big surprised as we’re all one firm and you were laid off (unless there is more context there).

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.

Wondering what I should do.
