I was recently let go because of low hours at my firm. I am looking to stay in public accounting, ideally going back to the Big4 (NYC) this upcoming year to get my CPA license.
Over the past two months, I have had a few interviews, but I have not been able to secure a job. My closest was another mid-sized firm where I went through four rounds, but ultimately didn't secure the position (which was identical to my previous role). Multiple entry-level jobs have also rejected me (granted, they require 3+ years of experience, haha).
Edit: Big4 role was August 2023-January 2024
wondering if the CV is even the issue - if you're getting interviews (at which rate? I'd say 5% or more is good) perhaps you need to spend less time on CV optimization and more time on interview prep (company intel to find their challenges, STAR stories prep, tailored elevator pitch...)
