Layoffs

People who stay in Consulting for the long term must have hearts of steel. Between the lay-offs, roll offs, politics, and getting fired/yelled at by the client it’s been a busy year

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?

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.

I have heard Deloitte cut recruitment and had layoffs this year. But their revenue and headcount number online show increase. Could anyone explain what's going on in Deloitte? Is it industry wise prob

Layoffs are the only way the industry will survive. A Great Depression is imminent. There is no other way this will all end.

Adweek reporting on the impact of COVID-19 on the industry and the massive downturn and layoffs, yet still paywalls its news. Frustrating to say the least as we try to stay informed.

The 4s that got laid off, does anyone know the time frame from when they found out their rating and to when they were actually told of their lay off?

MBB 🐠 - how easy is it to move offices after working 1-2 years at an international office?

I joined this forum so excited about my new job at BCG which will start in September, but now I’m kind of bummed hearing all the negativity you can find in some posts here about consulting 🤣 so, serious question: is it really as bad as some say it is? Or working at an MBB for some time is actually a really good life/career choice?

Hi fishes, I have a 401k question. The 401k my company offers has returned -4% this year.. meanwhile my brokerage investments have done well. At what point is it better to foregoing the tax benefits of a 401(k), and contribute post tax directly to my brokerage account (invested at a good return). I realize this equation is dependent on the 401(k) return rate, brokerage return rate, and my tax bracket. But just looking for a general ballpark if anyone’s considered this before.

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!

Anyone know of a good tutor for CFP exam? Thx.

Recruiter wants to give me a call with an offer (assuming). Can I ask them to send me an official offer letter with comp and give me a week to decide?

Should I take up a position at a startup? It’s similar to what I’m doing but probably more visibility without the long hours and stress. Or should I wait to get a similar job at a big company?
