Is strategy role at public utilities companies worth a try? What’s the outlook for this industry? Apparently ESG is the trend but heard there has been many layoffs.

Got laid off today by Accenture as a Consultant. It was cited as a termination without cause and I’ll receive a small amount of severance. I am seeking help to find a new job! Open to consulting roles, as well as industry roles around strategy/bizops. I am based in Canada, but also open to any remote jobs (US/worldwide/etc.) I’m feeling very lost right now. Any help during this time would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

Need some encouragement. Left consulting a few months ago to go to a startup. Took a major pay cut, only to be included in some layoffs last month.

But I’m in the offer stage for another Startup, I don’t even want to entertain the offer because of this experience at a startup.

It really is humorous now. When I tried to get in consulting last year around this time, I was told I already missed the window because the campus hire classes were already picked. Waited till January and was told again, I missed the window because I should have done it when the campus hires were already in so the firms knew pipeline. Waited again till about May and was told slow down bc most firms are in their last quarter, better luck at beginning of fiscal year. And now, apparently layoffs. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I’m in a smaller group that historically promotes only one new partner every few years, and there are several others also eligible. Any questions I should avoid asking?
