What industries are people transitioning to? Accounting seems to be a little uncertain right now with high burnout across all firms, low incoming teams, reduction in fees due to competitive market driven by PE, etc. Hearing people having a hard time finding a role. Are people transitioning to anything else or what is going to be the hot industry moving forward.

Accounting has always had high burnout. The hiring rates ebb and flow (ask anyone who was here in 2009). PE isn't my favorite thing for sure, but my day-to-day is still pretty much the same, I'm just less interested in being a partner now...they seem more stressed. So....not looking to transition. Things change constantly - when you've been here long enough, you get used it.

This is actually one of the things I was curious about is if this cycle had been seen before. Yes there has always been a level of burnout but there was still the understanding that if you reach the top, life is better. Now it doesn’t look great to be a partner. Less people coming into accounting sounds like a downward shift but who knows if that shifts back for some reason.
Outside of transitions then, what is the next hot job field outside of AI?

IMO we’re gonna see fewer partners and more senior managers and directors operating with leaner teams to optimize margin. It’s gonna suck for staff/seniors without the subject-matter expertise.

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?
