UBS I am going through the interview process with UBS. I applied for a financial advising position. I have had three interviews, completed the background check, and they asked me about my termination from last job, fired from mortgage company due to mortgage rates increasing. Last contact was a week ago. Since my first interview it’s been about a month and a half. Is this normal for their hiring process? Is this a good or bad sign?

In the offer phase with a potential new employer and my current employer fired me. Will this effect my potential hiring with the new company? Should I tell them or if it comes up just say I’ve separated?

I am recently received an invite for a meeting with a partner and a HR person which means I am either going to be laidoff or put on a reduced schedule (60% time for 60% pay). I would rather being laidoff since I don’t want to still work 100% with 60% pay. How would I frame it if they put me on the reduced schedule? I don’t want to say “you have to fire me” since it might be counted as resignation and I won’t receive the severance package.

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!
