Any consulting firms started layoffs / hiring freezes etc? I feel the consulting firms are a bit quiet compared to tech firms right now - which makes me worry about my accepted offer to be rescinded lol

KPMG are “pulling levers” already

Ain’t that statement a “blast from the past” :)

Haven’t heard this yet. What’s happened?

A recruiter at slalom told me they are taking a brief pause. When I mentioned their hiring freeze, they denied it, saying it’s just a pause..

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?
