Our pipeline is already significantly stronger than it was during all of April. Hopefully other firms have already touched the bottom

To my knowledge, BAH has a pretty strong MENA presence, or at least it did while I was at BAH a while back. Unless that footprint has significantly shrunk since then, I wouldn't find ~8 people being fired too alarming.

Oh, wow, I think Dubai had well over 100 people when I was at BAH.

I knew one of the principals out of Dubai at the time, he got poached to be a direct admit partner at another brand name firm in MENA. I wouldn't be surprised if that's when the office started to shrink.

How about BCG, Strategy&, Mckinsey? Are you guys okay?!

Not true....

Some project delays but good pipeline ... and clients are supportive of telework so far!

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
