Layoffs

Anyone else get laid off from Havas Boston yesterday? Who’s hiring??

Does anyone have tips on showing that I’m competent enough to not get fired but not competent enough to give more work to? How does one strike that balance?

If you knew that you are going to get laid off in 5 days, would you do any shenanigans (Medical leave, Family leave etc. ) to be out and delay the inevitable?
Just so you can buy more time to look for new job

Are there any groups in PwC Ops (particularly supply chain mgmt) that are doing well? Have a friend in b school interested, but I'm in Risk and unsure how to recommend given the layoffs.

Anyone else ever feel like they are going to get fired every day?

Could people share some “I got laid off and it turned out to be great” stories? Granted I’m sure none of those stories involve being laid off in a global pandemic like I just was.

Do others have anxiety of loosing their job? I constantly see people here posting that they were laid off and just wonder when it will be me

What steps do you all take to prepare for layoffs (outside of an updated resume)? I’m not really expecting layoffs within my practice (fin services), but want to be prepared so that if it does happen I’m not spending months looking for a job.

What is going on at Huron in health?!? Five rounds of layoffs in the past year and they reported a 27% loss in health revenue the last quarter alone. Stock tanked 15% just today!

'21 Grad who just got laid off a year after starting with a RE Developer. I'm lost right now and not sure what to do. My main focus was around project valuations, and proforma analysis. Has anyone gone through this? Especially so early on in my career.

If you weren’t a creative what job would pursue? I got laid off in April and have only had 1 interview :/

If offered a great position and 30% bump, seems like a no brainer to jump. But I’m wary of an upcoming recession, and how being a new employee would make me vulnerable to layoffs. What do you think?

Anyone has information about today's layoffs at PwC?

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Hi fishes,

Got offers from Nagarro 22.5lpa fixed, EY GDS 20.5 fixed + 10% variable and Cognizant 20.5 fixed. Having 6.5yrs of experience working in the business marketing domain and not into technical.

Cognizant and Nagarro are giving me hometown location where as Gurgaon for EY. Considering the recent layoffs, please share your views which one to join?

@Expert advice

Odd how FB is advertising the layoff category - find out who's being fired right now.

One of my friends refused to take up finance as a career due to the layoffs.

Any folks on here from IBM/MBB that want to pass me a referral — mass layoffs making me nervous. No one is safe & trying to get ahead of the curve.

Does anyone else spend their Christmas night watching strangers on YouTube open their Christmas presents?

I’d like to transition out of the agency world, and am looking for inspiration. Any former ad strategists that found applicable use of their skills in other industries?

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Hello. I was recently interviewed for a project manager position in a tech firm specialising in education softwares. Interview with thr HR went well and I was told I will be scheduled for an interview with the engineering team. I'm not quite sure what kind of questions to expect from engineering team. Any idea what kind I should prepare for?

Any of you out there currently using BeReal from a company account and have a strategy beyond a FOMO strategy?

I don't think it's fair to tell people "it's just a pet" when sometimes that's their only steady companion

Any good book recommendations to read while on the bench? Fiction, non fiction etc

Currently a product manager in gaming, looking to potentially switch into an SVOD service like HBO Max, Hulu, etc. If you or someone you know works at one of these companies, I’d love to chat and hear what it’s like! Also about the salary, as I’ve heard it can be lower than other tech companies!
