Worried about potential recession and layoffs...

PPEDs: Just found out that a Partner, who was promoted in 2017, was fired. IDK the circumstances. What can they expect to walk away with besides 401k & normal pension plan?

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

Is it normal to negotiate for a bigger severance package if it happens within the first year? Because Meta may have something for me but TBH I'm nervous about their hiring freeze news.

When will FAANG turn into FAANGS to include SalesForce?

My company got bought out but kept most of the sales team on. Everything was pretty much the same for the first few months, but recently I've been seeing a shift in my responsibilities-doing customer service tasks and lots of little extras. How do I factor this in when asking for a raise in my review?

A good company to work for on a small scale not much issue

It’s starting to get pitch black at 4:30.
Time to go home and fall asleep.
Sorry fam.

Hello! I just got promoted, but I can’t tell anyone yet bc I have to wait for it to be announced company wide. But I’m so excited, I could burst. So instead, take this anonymous confession and let’s celebrate!

Does anyone have any fun online games to play with the team for well-being breaks?

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

What do you think differentiated you in the first few years of your career? What big picture takeaways in terms of both hard / soft skills do you wish you spent more time on? Current second year IB analyst curious to hear your thoughts

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Accepted a new job at competing Big 4 but got a message from a recruiter from MBB. How do I respond to the recruiter? Is it worth it to take the call and be honest with them?

The only time I ever miss smoking is when I'm swimming in endless data and need a 5 min break. What ah do you gives do to give you brain a quick refresh?

Hey all, new hire here! Going to receive a $250 wfh credit; any recs on what I should get to build out my home office?

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

What is the tuition reimbursement benefit like at your company? I’m in Accenture Operation and there’s no such benefits. (Only strategy and CDO have it). Is it typical?
