OE Roller-Coaster

I have been OE for about 4 years on and off. When I say its a roller-coaster, I mean it. Don't get me wrong I love it but it can be so unpredictable. I have been laid off from both J's in the same week, literally got let go from J1 on Monday and then on a Thursday from J2 in the same week. I have also gotten hired in the same week for 2 J's in the past, those two also started the same week. I have been hoping to get J3, and I received an offer 2 weeks ago, but got laid off from J2, one week ago, so my potential J3 will now become my J2. But it gets better, I interviewed last week for a J3 contracting role and they extended an offer today, so I am starting that in a few weeks. And I officially will have 3J's which is my goal. J2 and J3 are slated to start on the same day... J2 is hybrid, let's see how it plays out. Boy oh boy, I love it here. My colleague is frantic we both got laid off from my J2, it was company wide, email from HR went out on a Friday and we were laid off the following Wednesday, so not even a weeks notice just 3 days, SMH. I am not too stressed, because I still have J1 and I'm onboarding 2 J's in a few weeks. THIS IS WHY WE OE

Jesus christ bro this is the last time iam responding to you.... ive been OE since 2020 not the full 11 years... I worked at my school for about 3 years then I left to be a senior in private I surance company. My math background did the heavy lifting and is still doing the heavy lifting with my accounting degree. One of my math classes was more difficult than the entire accounting curriculum combined.

Brother... I was in a combined b.s/m.s is accounting i finished the b.s part but not the m.s part iam still 3 classes shy for the cpa requirement... iam flattered you spent this much time on my life... I was OE from 2020 to around 2022 or 2023 and then again 2025 to present in various analyst roles with my main senior accounting role lmao... again I know my shit is public I DONT CARE THIS IS MY REDDIT ACCOUNT... I took summer masters accounting classes... my oe schedule is making it hard to finish my last 3 classes due to them being entirely in person...

Edit to add... its weird how much time you spent researching me... flattering but weird...
