What is happening in the accounting job market right now? Every article I read says something different about accounting hiring. Some insist there’s a major shortage of professionals, while others say the market is slow. It makes it really hard to figure out what to expect. What have you been seeing?

Both are true, at least in public accounting. Hiring is slow due to very little rotation (i.e., people aren't leaving at historical percentages), and there is a shortage of highly qualified professionals going into public accounting.

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????
