Even if the bench isnt big...are you learning the skills that you will need in the future.

I spent some time at pwc and realized that pwcs advisory practice doesnt really teach problem solving skills. They teach you how to follow an audit checklist and present it in an incredibly polished way.

With all the talk layoffs over the last 24 months at pwc...i wold look for a firm that does a better job of giving their consultants marketable skills.

Lol s& you're making yourself look like a fool. Have nothing against y'all, but we are definitely struggling. Integration hasn't been going well, and tons of my friends are on the bench (deals strategy). Saw people jump to Deloitte s&o

I don't disagree, but my point still stands- if you're as good as you say are, you wouldn't be at S& but one of the MBB. Get off your high horse.

Hours are flexible depending on the project. I was on one where we decided to have a meeting at 630 everyday to recap what was done and what needed to be done for the rest of the night. We peace out then, workout/have dinner and finish our work as we need to after. Hours are long but at least we can be healthy.

@P4 what market are you in?

NYM/PHL

Wonder if public sector is affected?

@P6 hopefully this will be a strong year for FS so bonuses will be better than last year's

It's real. Groups (this is from FS source) are being asked to make 10% cuts, it was supposed to be at FY end but may be moved to February. Be aware and wary.

Skills discussion certainly doesn't apply to s& IMO. In terms of layoffs, this wouldn't surprise me, but definitely nothing to be concerned about if you're good...

Office

What?!?!? Does that include natural attrition this upcoming year?

Nope.

Natural attrition would be a blessing Tim Ryan would take any day.

2-3000 sounds more than 10%

If you're still good, you may not be fine. They're looking to keep 1s and 2s. 3s are not making the cut either. It could include IFS

Also I thought they did away with "ratings"

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
