Would a Big 4 ever re-hire someone after firing them once before from a different role?

Fired or laid off? I could see the firm rehiring someone who was laid off. If you were fired for cause, there would likely have to be some crazy business case to justify that.

Probably depends why you were let go

Maybe, but know your own worth, and abilities.

Double edged sword here, they either under valued you, you were too rough around the edges, so combo of the two.

If it is the former, know your worth. If it is the latter be realistic in evaluating whether you fixed those things that lead to being terminated.

Why did they fired you? It was fail for PIP or laid off?

Layoff yes. Firing probably not unless you have someone in establishment doing the (re)hire or you are bringing a metric shit ton of revenue with you. Good news though. There are 3 other firms. If you got fired why would you want to go back to a place that did not want you. F that.

They do rehire depends on the partner.

Happens allll the time

Yes. I’ve seen it happen.

I would imagine so. I don’t know anyone above 30 that holds onto the hate to mess someone’s career up by telling others not to rehire them for another service line.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job
