OP I'm pretty sure you're talking about me haha. But I'm glad to hear the real reason bc what they told me was the corporate schpeel about performance in advisory and relative to peers, which I know I was performing at level and at partially at next. Severance was 2 weeks and paid unused vacation

that's not right....it's a bit worrisome. PwC 3 you will move to bigger and better things. This gives notice that no one is safe.

PwC staffers were let go today.... I know of one person that was let go. No one was expecting it because a few months back a large layoff occurred.

Any reasoning as to why? Was it performance of the individual or PwC is having a bad year, etc..? Just trying to get a handle on this since I am new to the firm.

That kind of makes sense. The person that was let go was not a slacker but was out of a small market in the south. But I was not sure. When I spoke to senior leaders they said the firm was fine. Always interesting what you are told and what is actually going on.

.

Yup. I think it's 2 weeks per every year you've worked there

Tell me about it. Especially considering I was notified yesterday

How were you notified? Did you get an email?

Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?
