I would say to start off with agencies, it's faster to get jobs. Go for temp-perm positions

Have personal financial goals that i need to reach for my family and thats why i started considering EY and D.

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?

So I was a 5th year associate in nyc making 100 k a year 2k billable hours..
