Can someone explain the difference between being counseled out and being fired? With an emphasis on why counsel someone out but not fire them, and vice versa.

At Deloitte now. laid off last year while on medical leave. Landed a new job with the help of a senior mentor and vouched for me not knowing my medical limitations. I just had to take sick leave again on the first project out of the gate. Dr is recommending 40 hours a week which will not fit the requirements of my director role. I feel like I need to switch roles to a non client facing role to be realistic in my health limitations. How do I make the switch and have the convo with w my mentor?

Just got laid off! What personal documents should I grab from my work laptop? What else should I remember to do? Sorry mind is a bit of a blur.

Will I get fired for being on the bench for two months after starting?

The lions are about to hire the D coordinator from the Patriots who just lost to the D coordinator of the Eagles who the lions fired a few years ago 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I will never see lions SB 🙁

If I stopped working/responding as much as my computer does, I'd be fired

How many people have you fired?

When someone gets fired/laid off but they keep their previous title/agency on LinkedIn, does anyone ever tell them to change it?

PWC / Strategy& fish - saw a post mentioning layoffs that included recent hires. Is it true? Which verticals are most affected? Starting at S& in a few months...

Heard through the grapevine. Bunch of analysts got fired for getting too drunk at DU and passed out in the bushes. Can anyone confirm or deny?

How is the business going for all you consultants? Are your companies getting new projects? Any layoffs ?

How many days on the bench before getting fired is a real possibility? Asking for a friend

Lots of farewell emails this week at PwC. People getting laid off? Has anyone heard anything about it?

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

When do Q4 layoffs typically start? Right away or at end or throughout?

Layoffs are coming

Are any agencies doing Q2 layoffs? It’s been quiet, hopefully that’s a good sign

Anyone here from Deloitte who has been laid off or personally knows someone who did, and can give an overview of the process (who contacts you and how, what if you are staffed, what about GSAPers)

You thought the last rounds of layoffs were bad? With continued political instability / uncertainty under Drumpf, companies will stop or slow spending on consulting and a bunch of us will get fired...

HR set up phone call for tomorrow morning to discuss performance. Layoff / PIP / chance to defend myself? 7 reviews, 4 great ones, 3 have some polar opposite comments. Those instances... (Continued)

I started in October, been on the bench for two months, and now I am starting on processing PPP applications. This wasn’t what I was expecting and is not close to what my domain is. All my other new hire colleagues are on exciting cool projects. I feel like I’m going to fall behind while my peers are building their CVs. Is this bad? Be honest please. Words of encouragement aren’t needed, just clarity on my situation.

Headed to Portland, OR for vacation but also to scope it out as a possible relocation spot from NYC. Are there a lot of freelance opportunities there?

Mini poll - Best firm among Tier 2: (also would be lovely to know why) 💜 - GT ❤️ - BDO 💚 - RSM

I just started as a first year associate at a firm that does not have any organized pro bono, however there is an “uncapped” billable hours policy that would allow me to apply pro bono to my hours requirement. How would you suggest I go about getting into pro bono work? It’s my understanding it’s not done much at my firm.

Best exit ops from Big4 IT M&A at director level? Is it possible to get a pay raise when exiting from strategy consulting (total comp) if you're already approaching the higher end of D-level pay band in consulting?

Does EY Amex card get you into the sky lounge? Also, can you expense global travel?

I have always wondered why PwC promotes so much later than other Big 4 firms (3 years to Sr, 3 more to manager). Every answer I've gotten has just been a complete load of shit...

Hi Deloitte fishes, In my offer letter, it is clearly mentioned that my bonus will be in the range of 0-10%. Is it normal in Deloitte USI? The HR told me the bonus will be in the range of 10-20% and that is normal. YOE- 5Years. Joining as a consultant.

Beginning to be concerned that new first years are going to be making more than me after my raise (A2)... Does this ever actually happen?

Need resume help — in college, it was pretty standard to have a consistent amount of bullets (no more than 3-4) for each position. I’d imagine that experienced hires would have probably more for their primary job and only a couple of lines for volunteering or other extracurriculars. Thoughts?

Has anyone left financial services consulting and made a jump to CPG world? What are the best transferable skills to play up during interviews?

Has anyone ever hired an admissions consultant for help with MBA applications? Worth the money?

How much PTO for manager level at Accenture? Are there any collective disconnects? Deloitte shut down for 5 days July 4th and the week between Christmas and New Year's. Then there were the other federal holidays, of course. Is there a typical sign on bonus for manager level?

Best consulting firms in Houston for Healthcare?

Have the option to transfer to Canada (Vancouver/Toronto/Montreal) and keep my US salary or to London at a 10% paycut. My current salary is 100K USD which will be ~65K GBP if London and ~125K CAD if Canada. Obviously my salary will go further in Canada but London sounds too cool to pass on. So my main question is: will living on 65K in London be comfortable enough that I just do it for the experience? Currently in NYC at 3 yoe and will go back to the US after 1 year for MBA. Please advise!

Is it viewed as “not good” to go back to my alma mater for MBA? It’s a top 40 business school and got me into B4 consulting easily. School has strong recruiting presence in the region I want and I have a full ride for their FT program. Appreciate any thoughts!

Newly moderating a Health & Fitness Club. We have a few ideas for meetings (use of the school weight room, having speakers come in, club yoga, etc.), but hoping for more activity inspo. Suggestions?
