Any consultants starting to get laid off or having their projects cut?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Hi all,

Seeing some posts on layoffs in barclays. Is it true and which category of Employees will fall in that list.

Utilization director told me today that the layoffs won't affect me. My heart goes out to everyone that had to hear otherwise. Here's to hoping y'all find something better and prosper.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Hi Team, I was part of the layoff at Elastic last week. Our whole midmarket AE department was eliminated.
Does someone hire for a midmarket/commercial AE position in The Netherlands?
I am a native German speaker. Of course I already applied via LinkedIn, but I urgently need a new job in January.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Doordash 🐠, has there been discussions of layoffs? Is DD planning on doing any? Thanks, from a potential hire

I was laid off this month from a US-based company where I've been a reporter for the past 3 years or so... I live in Europe. I wonder if I'm likely to have luck with other remote-friendly US companies. Or are we already past that?

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Anyone expecting layoffs due to COVID-19? There’s an indefinite hiring freeze and most promotions and have been paused. 👀

I heard UKG has fired many employees this year?
Is it good for job security?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

ISO: experienced recruiter for a career consultation. Laid off a few times. Trying to make sure the next job sticks. I’ll compensate for your time!

Which consulting firms are hiring for experienced Associate position? Have a friend who got laid off and looking for another job.

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

how many employees got laid off from zs in recent days and which job profile has been affected the most?

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

We were told that the probation period is a training period & not an elimination one. It was shocking as a few of those trainees were actually good.

Where and how do you search for new opportunities?

I use LinkedIn, my network, search key words in Google for adverts and look on organisation's careers pages.

Is there a more structured way for me to do it?
Any websites that I should check out?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I've been working in sports for 15 years. Looking to branch out to adjacent brands or industries. Awards from Clio Sports, PRINT, ADDYS.
I've worked as a graphic designer, interactive designer and creative director; freelance in the NFL, MLS, Premier League and PGA Tour; and have written about sports marketing for Adweek & Adidas.
Remote with occasional travel is preferred. I have been working remotely my entire career and would love to chat with likeminded folks that are location agnostic.

Good morning! Anyone from McKinsey willing to chat? I would like to ask a couple of questions about opportunities in the DC office 😊😊 thanks!

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.
