After the layoff, my resume looks messy. 4 companies in 12 years, then 5th one for 3 months. How would I explain the lay off for my next full time offer (only if I manage to get one)

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.

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?

Finding sobriety fairly challenging after being laid off. Hanging in there, though! Only bonus - more time for meetings and step work. Anyone else been through it? What was your game plan?

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!!

Does anyone have any insight into the Layoffs from a SCNO perspective? (Numbers, duration, etc.)

Layoffs have started at Accenture, mostly senior managers. Any news to share?

Did BCW NY just layoff it’s EA staff?! Seeing a bunch of these names on Connect and very upset that great people were let go!

My partner is an Occupational Therapist and she was laid off in March when NYC closed schools and therefore her clinic. Initially she claimed unemployment but they moved to tele-therapy so she’s been earning an hourly rate. However she’s struggling as they are consistently not been paying her the correct amount and with no explanation. She had an employment contract to end of Aug with a 3 month notice period that they did not give to her. Could she possibly force them to pay out her contract?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

Is anyone else still unemployed since March/April layoffs or am I the last one? I’ve officially lost hope. Any careers that EA skills are easily transferable to? I have 10 years experience and am in a major metropolitan area. I’m looking for remote positions for obvious reasons, which I think is further impeding my success of landing something.

Seems quite a few of us have been laid off in the past couple weeks - I vote we take a breather, pool our points and miles, and travel the world (on our own terms) together ✈️

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

I felt very good following Dana’s Town Hall. Having heard other networks are already facing furloughs and layoffs, did you feel as encouraged?

Has Accenture strategy capability network done away with the rating system ...If yes then how do they layoff or decide on annual hikes ?

Do you think consulting industry might layoff people due to the coronavirus economy collapse.

OK gonna maybe open a can of worms here but I have to ask: it seems the sudden inflation we're seeing has taken the ins. ind. by surprise. The cost/expense projections done X yrs. ago for this and poss'y subsequent yrs. have been thrown off. Costs to repair/replace cars have shot up unexpectedly. Same for houses. Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?

Would anyone know of any companies actively recruiting for remote positions with a soon-ish start date?

I'm nearing my 5th month of being laid off and haven't had any luck after the 100+ applications I've submitted.

Panic is starting to set in as I'll no longer be able to financially support myself in the very near future :(

Hello All,

I received an offer from PWC India with CTC 9.5L my current is 5.5L. I have another offer in pipeline from concentrix with 11L. Will PWC match my counter offer? I want to join big 4 but salary is my primary reason to switch. My yoe is 4.4 and skills are BI and SQL. And I am also worried about future recession and potential layoff because of high salary.

Anyone feel like the Democratic Party is too ‘soft’ on Republicans? I feel like the Democratic Party is too scared to call out Republicans as far-right and increasingly authoritarian.

Is it super slow for other folks out there right now? I had a great year last year but all of the agencies and production companies I worked with are either kicking projects to next quarter or just totally radio silent.

Hello,
How do I randomly pick one name from a list in excel that has identical names?
Example:
Warehouses names
Ana
Ana
Hou
Hou
Aus
Aus

Every name repeats itself several times. But each of them has different lot numbers associated with them. I only need to pick one lot number number from each warehouse randomly. Is there a formula for that in excel?

What is something a new senior mgmt employee can do in their first few weeks/months to set themselves apart as an exceptional new recruit?

What can I, as a newly promoted manager do to overdeliver on your expectations (assuming project delivery is great, deadlines are met, client and team are happy, project budget is on track)? What can a manager do to make your life easier and help you sell more work?

Partners / MDS - Have any of you stayed with the same firm from analyst to Partner/MD? If so, what made you stay despite probably receiving offers for more compensation? Also, what benefits are there to staying in consulting your entire career?

Partners, is it okay to send a deliverable without your review?

What year partner can realistically afford to have ~$4M in mortgage debt? Particularly big4

Partners - What truly makes an entry level stand out? Excellent work is just a baseline expectation. The whole “I’m not intimidated, let’s have a coffee?”

Has anyone used Gideon Strategic Partner for investing? What was your experience?

Spend so much time managing people’s feelings and mood to get work or get work done. So exhausting, I am ok with machines replacing us all.

Have you always been a risk taker? I assume with this job you have to take some calculated risks. Is risk taking a skill that can be developed? If so, how do I go about it?

Was at big-4 (staff-SM) for 11 years then made a switch to midtier as an MD for last 5 years. Now i have offers from two of the largest of the big-4 to join as a partner either year2 or year3. My current mid-tier firm is willing to match the same in comp and partnership. If i leave, i will have to prove myself allover againand rebuild network again but will have access to better resources. area is technology consulting. any advise? big-4 buy in much larger.

Does Deloitte offer PPMDs a sign on bonus for direct admits? I have heard yes and no. Asking for a friend. 😎

At Accenture, I feel that 9/ 10 MDs I see are solid business operators/ relationship developers in contrast to true value creation/ thought leadership. I enjoy creating. Ctd...
