I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Have you left the door open with your previous firm? It might be worth to reconnect to other partners at the previous firm, while networking with partners at the current firm, before starting looking for a new job. :)

Consider going back to where you came from assuming you left on good terms.
Or find another sponsor/leader at your current firm who you can work for, start the network rebuilding process on your own. Many others have to go through this, it is not abnormal.
I suspect that it was something significantly egregious to warrant immediate termination. I wouldn’t necessarily assume that it had anything to do with you.
If you had a close enough relationship that you changed firms with him/her, they might be willing to share what happened. Their answer might tell you if you have a need to worry.
I agree with the other comments on developing a network with other leaders if you decide to stay.
Possibly! How large is the new consulting firm? I would start looking and also start networking internally. Re-aligning with key people
Good advice! The firm has over 1,500 employees in multiple cities around the world. So we’re not talking about a super small firm :)
Sounds like a real mess, when you say without notice, does that mean you weren’t working under him at your new firm to not see this coming sooner?
Honestly I would take a hard look - do you like your new colleagues? Are you doing work you expected/ were sold on? If not, I’d high tail out of there.
If you have proven yourself at your new job, what happened to the partner you came over with will have no impact on you. I did a transfer years ago (same firm, different region, so not exactly the same) working for a mentor - and 6 months later he left for a different position. It all worked out in the end because the reason they needed me to transfer didn't go away with my former mentor leaving. You hopefully are in a similar position. Good luck!
Joining companies at a more senior leadership level requires alignment on r&r, vision and working culture. Tbh sometimes it’s just not a match. And when things get tough economically, the knives can come out. Says a bit about that company but to each their own.
Wow that sounds brutal.
Did you work exclusively for him? Or you also have other projects with other partners? I think it depends on how much work the firm has and whether there’s a need for you. If you’re super busy, or you have good relationships with other partners, you could be fine. And who knows, maybe the partner was terminated for something sketchy.
Also, for context, what makes it especially surprising is that he was within his “grace” period at the firm. As in, it’s a new market for the company and we’re focused on BD a lot. He hasn’t sold any projects yet, but it’s been around 7 months since he joined
B1 is the exact reason I’ve dated 3 Bain consultants and broke up with each one of them.
Were there any poaching restrictions the partner violated by bringing you?
As far as I know, there wasn’t any non compete clauses or restrictions when I came onboard
What is the logic behind your question, like what’s the connection/dependency between your job and his beyond a referral? A referral isn’t grounds for termination, however low performance and/or company layoffs due to recession/economic impact is.
Were you dependent on him to succeed?the question you need to answer to yourself is - Can you succeed without him? If yes, then you’re good.
