100% gonna happen. Calibrating consulting demand is tough and oversupply of consultants is expensive. At some point the axe is going to drop.

So to circle back, the answer of there “soon” being layoffs is a no, right?

A lot of these folks exits to industry. They can exits because the market expand to remote work where a lot can live their desire city while working for the companies they couldn’t in the past. That type of market disruption will adjust for a while before it slows down.

I wouldn’t say it’s mass hiring, but it’s more of a mass shift of workforce between companies.

Remember last year when the firms were letting folks go left and right bc of the panny? … it will probably be awhile before they need to reduce headcount because of the overfiring. Although there’s a lot of hiring happening, I’d say a good number of people who may have even been potential hires are no longer interested in consulting.

Yes. Will happen. Always does. All the people who jumped around for these ridiculous raises with 2-3 YOE will be the first ones cut. Happens every cycle.

I’ve been thinking about that as well and thinking how I can best position myself. My guess is only those who went through the last couple of downturns have thought about it. It’s not keeping me up at night but everyone needs to be prepared for it. Hearing about evergreen got me thinking about 2007 recently, first a couple of snippets of news then a bit more and more. Hopefully no one company/bank is over exposed

There are always layoffs, typically twice a year, averaging 5% of the workforce.
