Any idea how bad it looks to recruiters if I got laid off from a tech startup 3 weeks ago due to org restructuring and lack of business during these times?

I am currently looking to go back to Consulting but not sure how this would look to recruiters. I appreciate any help, thank you!

You need to have a story. List on your resume the reason for departure in italics. For example:

- Shortened employment timeline due to corporate restructuring and cost cutting after hire date

… this isn’t uncommon and people know that, but that needs to be clear.

Getting laid off at this time by a tech startup is pretty common and won’t be looked down upon by most (if not all) recruiters

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?
