Anyone know whether EU is rescinding all offers or just some? If the latter, are return offers prioritized?

I feel like I’ve been lied to. The fact this was not brought up, mentioned, alluded to, or otherwise foreshadowed at the last staff meeting is outrageous. How difficult would it have been to say “We p… more

Does AS provide any mental health benefits (in the US)? For those who use therapy, where did you find your provider and what coverage do you get from company health insurance plans?

Separately, do we … more

Why was this not announced in the global staff meeting last week? There is no way that Rory did not know this was going to happen

Where is the interest rates guy?

Thoughts? Anyone surprised?

Should I be worried about my MBA return offer getting rescinded? Not sure if I should be worried. Any insights?

So when are cost cutting measures going to be eased? On the global call, Rory said our revenue for the year is estimated to be $220m, which is ~8% higher than the monthly target of $17m

Why do our laptops need to be updated and rebooted every couple of days?

How is Europe doing?

Any word on if we are going to end up asking our furloughed colleagues back in January?

What happens if you’re ’tracking with development plan’? Is that essentially a coach out (if so, how long do you get) or has anyone come back from that?

Anyone worried we are going to be slammed after bonuses when everyone tries to leave (assuming they’re poor) and all analysts staring are brand new?

What happened? Did we really give out no returns to any of our summer interns? Won't we need first year analysts again eventually? Can't we just give out Jan 2025 start dates? This will probab… more

What % of bonus do you think we will actually get? Has anyone heard anything about this?

How is the utilisation in the US offices currently? Europe and APAC are basically full staffed

What do you think about us rarely travelling / working with our team in person / being at the client? Personally, I feel like a big part of the consulting experience is taken away from us…

What office are you in and what is a good day / normal day / shitty day in terms of leaving times?

What do you think about our projects? How interesting do you think they are on average? What do you think is the % of DD vs strategy work?

Do we think bonuses will be based on region-specific performance or company performance?

Another round is coming?

Curious what others think about our 3 level rating system in project reviews? Simplification is good, but it seems overly punitive and insufficiently capable of capturing progression IMO. Is this prac… more

Do you think there will be bonus this year?

Which is the most superior office?

If Europe is fully back on track, where are all our perks?

Has anyone had office transfer requests approved in recent months? Americas or other

Heard a rumor that partners don’t have a base salary - comp is solely bonus (“eat what you kill”) + stock. No salary seems absurd. Can anyone confirm?

So, Europe - only A&Cs leaving or also some M/P/Ds?

Any news from Europe?

So how is everyone feeling?

Any cuts in EU and APAC?

Thoughts post all hands this morning? I was unimpressed / uninspired.

Is it really better at other firms (especially MBB/T2)?
I have the feeling this bowl is overflowing with negativity even though lots of external factors are at play…
And it became more popular growing t… more

I’m curious if folks who applied for the sabbatical were “saved” from the layoffs. I know they said the two were independent but did anyone who opted for the sabbatical get laid off?

How do we expect utilization to be with the most recent events and sabbaticals? Will bench times be extremely low/should we expect to see less internal projects coming through once the interns leave?

Can someone provide a list of potential exit opportunities? Would appreciate some ideas and sharing.
