Some agencies started layoffs at the very beginning. Others held out as long as they could. So they are all on different cycles. I’d be surprised if any agency makes it to the end of the year without any.

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?
