The Dark Side of Big 4: My Layoff Experience

[@arvindravichandran257]

This is such a heavy moment, and as a fellow B4 audit senior, I deeply feel the heartbreak of this situation. It’s hard to see such a sudden shift after all your dedication and guidance to others, but tragedy often plants the seeds for unexpected growth. I truly believe your strength and experience will lead you to something even greater than you imagined.

It definitely was hard, but I can attest to that unexpected growth. I appreciate your kind words! :)

Man, I've been watching your videos since I was a Senior in University. I just started working in the big 4 as an NA in Audit and can say that your videos have been really helpful in best preparing me of expectaitions and how I can stand out. Screw those managers who gave you bad performance reviews, based on the videos you made over the years, I'm sure you were an excellent senior associate, they probably just needed an excuse to layoff people. I hope you continue maybe making videos, maybe make a video of exit opportunites from big 4 or discussing other industies besides accounting. Hope your mentally healthier now and doing much better!

Thanks for being a long time subscriber. It is crazy to hear something like that! I'll definitely think about that, thank you!

I am also doing much better. For me, my mental health began to improve once I left Big 4. Sometimes it takes knowing when to leave. In hind sight, I could have and probably should have left earlier
