241: Lee Frederiksen – Discussing The Great Resignation

Where Accountants Go - The Accounting Careers Podcast

Lee Frederiksen of Hinge joined us for this week’s episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast.

Lee’s team approached us with this topic, and we were very excited to have the discussion. “The Great Resignation” is a phenomenon affecting the entire labor market, and the accounting profession is no exception. The market was already tight in terms of the number of accountants available versus the number of job opportunities, but with opportunities increasing and some individuals choosing to exit the labor market by choice, the number of open jobs within our field has skyrocketed. It’s a peculiar situation, and although it has its advantages, there are also some dangers as well.

In this episode, we will discuss the situation from both the employer’s perspective and the job seeker’s perspective, because there are opportunities and dangers on both sides. It’s rare that we get to interview a behavioral psychologist on our program, so this was a real treat. And the topic we discussed is definitely on the cutting edge of current events.
