Literally seems like all consulting firms grew this last year so the only potential cuts would be low performers/underutilized folks which is just a normal business cycle…

I've spoken to a few partners about this and they have all stated no plans for layoffs thus far. But our travel expenses were recently cut and I feel like that's the first step so who knows...

Well, the partners I work with are usually pretty honest tbh. If something like layoffs were discussed with the 3k partners, one of them is bound to leak it. You're right the top brass probably wouldn't be telling the average partners though

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
