It's crazy to think they are coming. You should know they are coming at this point.

Yes, I guess you are right.

No longer at JP but layoffs happen at my current bank every 6 months since I joined last summer after business school.

Difficult to make long-term plans in terms of remaining in this industry which adds even more stress to this job.

Exactly – this is nothing new.
My firm has done several restructures over the years. There’s plenty of opportunities out there. That’s why my firm has done them. Please do not get into the mindset that you are stuck to your employer.
However, why are you stressed out?

No.
Why do you consider yourself to be ‘crazy’?

I don’t know. I guess I always feel like my job is in jeopardy.

After rejecting big companies like Infosys,Wipro, etc. I've joined EPAM Anywhere due to wfh permanently and it's perks. But after spending 1 and half month HR called me to search the opportunity outside of EPAM, means they're laying off people. It's unfair behaviour of the organisation. I've given some interviews they're playing interview interview with me, for the hiring process technical interview then for project - technical interview, client process - starts from 1st Round.EPAM Systems

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
