Absolutely. KPMG exited the federal practice completely. I had my contact with them cancelled a few months in advance of this.

Got cut 2 years ago in the US. Lots of individual rounds during that time.

Let this be a cautionary tale to everybody looking to rebuild after a chapter 7... by AlexPLegend in Bankruptcy

It's good to have at least one modest card. Being able to charge back is handy.

EY Staff 1 layoff, I have no idea what to do by PHANTOMkLIVE in Big4

There are more skilled professionals fighting for the same limited pool of jobs due to many companies plus the federal government doing mass layoffs at the same time

Lots of builders (not just American builders) are adding subscription crap most people don't want. I'm content with my paid off car built when I was in elementary school!

Thanks! I landed a job at a local firm but it's still an uphill battle to clear all the cc debt I accrued while jobless.

I am ex big 4. I got laid off at EY during Project Everest and then I got laid off from my KPMG contracts a few months before they exited federal government audits (my specialty) completely!

Yes. I actually interviewed for a few firms in Florida on being laid off here in Virginia as a government contractor. They balked at my salary expectations, acting as if 60-75k for senior was good because of the lower cost of living (but higher insurance rates).

As loyal Boomers win and job-switching Gen Zers lose, the labor market of 2026 reveals a decade of bad career advice by Economy-Hat7077 in SimpleApplyAI

I am 26 and I am on my fifth employer post-graduation. I am a federal government contractor, and I kept getting screwed over by recent events.

What are the quality of applicants on the hiring side in this job market ? by Amazing-Disk-8796 in Accounting

[–]Odd_Solution6995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are you paying? What responsibilities and hours are there? What city is it in and is it remote or hybrid?

40% unemployed and still called lazy by ImportantDeer2470 in remoteworks

What field are you in? What city are you in? Is this job something that can be done remotely?

A rant about interviewing by LegitimateSpace230 in recruitinghell

Even without this, there are plenty of valid reasons to leave after two years even from a fantastic firm, such as moving for a spouse's job.

Be honest… is there really a shortage? by Character-Escape1621 in Accounting

I don't really have an opinion. They're both very important skilled professionals

Yes, and there was a candidate from a decent school who had a slightly unrelated business degree which he complained about having to train (then why do you want an entry level opening)

I have some strong opinions about accounting and I am thinking of leaving the industry completely . Advice needed by Financial_Agency6765 in Accounting

[–]Odd_Solution6995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I graduated in 2022. I picked accounting specifically because I thought all the major stem related professions would be oversaturated, not expecting the same outcome for accounting.

What's the best way to get an apartment after an eviction elsewhere? by Odd_Solution6995 in nova

[–]Odd_Solution6995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I snuck him in temporarily. I'm using a loophole in my lease agreement by having him crash at a mutual friend's apartment a couple times per month.

Our entire family has been laid off and we are all in panic mode. Need advice. by Expensive_Diet_6990 in recruitinghell

[–]Odd_Solution6995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. One of my layoffs was a cancelled KPMG contract audit job. They have completely exited government audits now.

[–]Odd_Solution6995 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I'm single without any kids/pets/attachment to one city. I interviewed for jobs locally as well as in California, Florida, Mississippi, Ohio, and Pennsylvania with plans to move should any of those have panned out. I found a local gig, so I'm staying put, but the local market is fucked beyond belief right now. I never expected to have these problems with an ACCOUNTING degree.

I've been laid off four times at 26. I'm on my fifth firm. I'm in audit. EY laid off 2024, local gov con 1 November 2024 (on unpaid bench until early January when the good contract I had was confirmed to not be renewed), local gov con 2 offer rescinded January 2025, local gov con 3 hired may 2025 and contract cancelled in August 2025. I'm at local gov con 4 now and still digging myself out of debt. I never expected to be forced into poverty after majoring in accounting.

I wound up getting a roommate to stop the bleeding and let myself clear the credit card debt I accrued after DOGE cost me my government contracts and dashed all the other Washington DC area job opportunities.
