Sorry for your loss, but practical advice, beggars can’t be choosers - please expand your applications beyond consulting. Consulting is just not a space you want to be in these coming years especially if you are an international. I had McKinsey and Bain opportunities precovid, but I senses major rumblings. Folks who’ve been in the firms and performing well are covered, but a dangerous time to enter as a new consultant.

What’s the thinking behind the international risk?

Yes dude, really sorry that you feel you might get laid off, but seriously... you can’t be targeting as your next goal a company that 90% of D folks don’t even get an interview without going for MBA.

Also message folks on LinkedIn for referrals. I’m sure you have a good network given you work at Deloitte - fishbowl tends to be full of negative folks who rarely help out. Feel free to DM me for referrals at FAANG or MBB if you really must.

I'm seeing this a lot, but what are the chances of someone being let go from Deloitte get a job a McKinsey. Not to be rude, but if you were off McK caliber wouldn't you not be laid off due to the awesome value you've been bringing?
