Are the PWC advisory layoffs over? Was it just contained to FS? Anyone heard it spilling into S&?

It was beyond FS for sure, but seems to be done - or at least being done very quietly.

Being done extremely quietly - firm is saying a lot are "performance based" but no one I know who has been let go had any performance issues. Heard they will be ramping up in S& due to deep bench

S& was impacted by the layoff but I believe only on a small scale. I only know of one person who either quit in sync with layoffs or (more likely) was let go. This person was in Legacy PwC and moved into S&. Seemed technically capable to me but maybe had issues getting staffed or wasn't well rounded.

Well if it's been this quiet and it's been going on extensively, must have been some nice exit packages...

I doubt as nice as the bonus payout would have been in a couple months but I am only speculating.

Good point, but my group gets paid out in September, and chances are the bonuses wouldn't have been great for those laid off anyhow.

Doesn't all of PwC get paid in Sept now?

Didn't have top grades, wasn't on law review. Worked at a midsize firm and was laid off in march-- have about 3 years experience in a hot practice area. Have been applying and had some interviews at larger shops but nothing has come of it.

Where would you go from here if you were me? Was making good money at the midsize...
