Any truth to Bain beginning (or being close to) layoffs? I’ve heard this through the Bain grapevine (not my current firm)

Have heard of no layoffs - promotions remain on track. However, people with subpar ratings are placed on a shorter timeline for performance improvement

Nope. Just Mitt Romney apparently.

Seems like more people with SC unclear ratings as well. I do believe that Bain takes a “people first” approach and is doing what it can to protect jobs (more for the sake of the pipeline than anything else) but I don’t think LT have been transparent with us about COVID impacts

How dependent is the pipeline on private equity? I saw a Bain report that there’s a lot of PE money sitting on the sidelines at the moment.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

A topic I'm seeing debated is in the area of finding DevOps work or staffing those roles. Should "DevOps roles" be a specialty to be hired for, or just additional responsibilities for an existing dev or engineer to take on as-needed?

Any advice on networking to find a new role? I've worked in the same place for so long and I'm not sure how to get started.
