Consulting

lol I am gonna get fired for being called a Consultant 😂

I’ve been laid off due to lost business. Struggling to find junior strategist positions and agencies that hire at that level, not many do. Should I stick with what I enjoy or consider account?

Staff 2, worked at 3 clients in the past busy season. Around 70% of my feedback are “Often”, 20% “Usually” and 10% “Always”. Shall I worry about being fired?

What are the biggest lessons you've learned from being fired

How much is severance usually?

With so many layoffs and the strange uncertainty of this industry right now—is anyone scared to death?

I’ve been laid off and, as I embark on my job search, I’d like to keep my marketing skills sharp. Any recommendations on must read books, or resources?

Is anyone from the agencies in this bowl open to making a referral for a graphic/web designer? My boyfriend worked for a small events agency and everyone has been laid off due to cancelled events from COVID.

Laid off a few months ago. Going to school full time Fall '19. I don't want the responsibility of another GD/senior role. Can I apply to AMD jobs?

Anyone have the inside scoop on MediaCom? Currently a director on the tech side of the world. Considering a company change. Too many layoffs and people leaving my current company. Depressing.

Hubs is starting to interview for senior legal roles. Hasn’t had a haircut during covid, and it’s curly and fantastic. Looks awesome. Does he need to cut it to appear “professional?” (He was laid off in April, so we’re getting anxious)

I got laid off in the most disrespectful and demoralizing way. I was sad and depressed. Then the clouds parted, and the sun came back out. I focused on positives. I gave out good vibes. I helped a bunch of people. I tried to not get dragged down in spite and bitterness. It was really hard! Best part? I just got hired after only 3 weeks off and it’s for somewhere better (a TRULY independent shop!) I’m making more money and will be working with people who seem talented, capable, and smart.

Is being laid off considered a negative mark on the resume? If you are not let go due to performance, does it look bad?

How reliable do we think the Deloitte Tax CEO’s “intel” is on the other Big 4 doing layoffs?

Does anyone know when layoffs are happening in IB?

True or false: there are more layoffs happening right now in advertising than at any point since 2008.

McDonald’s fired their CEO for having a relationship with an employee. How many agencies would have their leadership decimated if this was a rule in advertising?

Did any of the Big4 start furloughs or layoffs in US?

Any updates on layoffs, hiring freezes, freezes on promotions/raises/bonuses at Big 4?

Has anyone ever gotten fired and switched jobs only to have the boss who fired them show up at the new agency they’re at? I can only imagine it not going well? Or fresh new start maybe? Do tell

I’ve seen that if you switch big 4 firms, they make you leave that day. Is this still true during Covid? Would they just lock you out if your computer that day?

If the system benefits you, then what is the incentive to change the system (privilege, wealth, etc)? Why not keep things the way they are?

Has anyone seen follow up studies demonstrably proving causation between vaccines and covid rate/ severity reduction? This is not political at all and I don’t care about your stance on vaccines, just genuinely curious because I haven’t been able to find it and would expect that there would be more/ better data at this point with all the natural experiments going on.

Why do D layoffs target newer people? I know of several people with great reviews + high utilization but less than 1 year tenure and were let go. Whereas some with several years of tenure but mediocre/good ratings still have a job.

Hilton just extended 2020 status for another 24 months. Has marriott done the same yet? Let’s hope the same for airlines.

Apparently, bunch of folks fired from big 4 this year. Is this rumor true?

I have an old chase freedom card which I guess doesn’t exist anymore. Should I change to the freedom flex? Currently put travel/dining on CSR, use Freedom for the quarterly 5% categories, and put flights and everything else on Amex. I don’t think it makes a difference if I’m only using it for the 5% right?

Does anyone have a general idea of approximate salaries for experienced tax managers in the Big 4? Chicago specifically.

MD comp - what is it?

I understand that the way to figure out whether you’re paid appropriately is to take your number of billable hours multiplied by your hourly rate and divided by three. Going into my annual review, I’m it even sure if I’ll be offered a raise, but if I am, should I apply that formula to my new hourly rate (if it’s increased) or my current one?

Hello!! Do you use crib bumpers? It seems controversial from a safety standpoint. We are in the process of moving baby from bassinet to crib.

Anyone else still waiting on comp match and thinking it’s taking so long due to them working out a way to screw all the counsel? Just me?

Thoughts on FCB Chicago? What’s the culture like? Coworkers? Leadership? Would you want to work there yourself? Why/why not? Thanks 🐠!

Doing my first exploratory call with another Big 4 recruiter soon. What should I ask them?

I used to dread PDs at our school, but this year we do open-door style where teachers sign up to lead a workshop on something they've created or initiated in their classroom, like trying a new activity or app, and teachers pick which workshop is most interesting or applicable for them. I love having choice!
