By 'firings', do you mean CTL'd (not surprising), or layoffs (concerning)?

Corona triggered layoffs is what I mean....more than usual firings

Gotcha. I guess it wouldn't be surprising if they counseled out significantly more people than usual this review cycle (approaching layoff levels), given the twin impacts of corona and oil.

To put things in perspective, BCG is the largest strategy consulting firm in the Middle East. #1 in public sector work where there is typically always a growing need for staff and not enough supply...this is a big deal

A big deal if true, but doesn’t even sound confirmed.

Hello everyone ,
I’m currently working in insurance customer service at an agency. I work in the mortgage department assisting w mortgage changes , payments etc. I’ve been thinking about becoming a claims adjuster most likely for property damage . Is it worth it ??? I hear a lot of talk about how claims adjusting is a lot of work and very demanding but I think my current position has prepared me for the challenge. What are some good companies I maybe should apply for after getting my license?

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback.

Hi Fishes, I am ready to resign from my current organisation and I was wondering if I need to discuss this with my reporting manager first. I have never talked to my reporting manager , do I need to discuss with him before I resign or I should just do it in the portal directly.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
