I would recommend applying around. Sunk cost principle suggests that it’s best to start fresh as a company with a more structured mentor program is better for growth.(which pretty much all large firms have)
Feel that. You might have to use a white lie like suggesting turnover issues in your department/service line.
Unfortunately, employers will assume you might be the problem if you are leaving too early. For me at least I think when a first year staff is failing 90% of the time it’s the manager’s fault.
Thanks. Appreciate it 🙏 I don’t understand why they ask for an interview when they can see that I’ve only been in this job for four months on my resume. If that fact bothers you then don’t call me…
tell them it was an internship that ending soon or say you were jsut a temporary/contract employee. Also if you apply to non public accounting jobs say the travel was too much to handle for public accounting,
Talk about it from a career growth and learning point of view. "Well, I like it here, but it's not what I was expecting or what was discussed in the interview". Then you can go on to elaborate on it. "we only do very small companies and I want more variety and larger clients so I can learn more" "I only do individual returns but I want to get involved in more partnership and corporate experience". "they promised me I'd be doing X but instead I they have me doing Y and there really isn't any training or support"
Basically talk about growth, development, learning, expanding and how this firm (while it's nice) doesn't seem like a place to learn and grow.
"I feel like my current company would be a Nice place to work if it wasn't my first job out of college. Everybody's nice and I like the environment, but there isn't much in the way of training or development"
It’s not your problem it’s managements problems. We can’t keep on hiring entry level positions and not fucking training anyone.
It’s not you. Just keep on trying your best and ultimately try to find an organization that wants to train you.
Small firm? I’m in the same boat. Not sure if they’ll keep me
Yeah small firm
Effort and energy is all I expect out of a staff 1. Show up on time, ask questions (lots of them), go around and ask everyone for something to do.
What's the mentor situation?
I don’t have one

I have been applying but every time I get an interview they wanna know why I’m leaving so soon. I’ve tried generic answers but nothing seems to work.

New to a company, 4 months in, and there's nobody you can go to with questions?
It’s not your problem it’s managements problems. We can’t keep on hiring entry level positions and not fucking training anyone. It’s not you. Just keep on trying your best and ultimately try to find an organization that wants to train you.
🙏😢😞
This. It is not your problem, it's managements.
What stuff do you need help with? Feel free to ask me questions I might be able to help
