Let me make this simple for you: even if they didn’t, you shouldn’t go to Sidley. Hope this helps.

I wouldn’t be concerned. If a summer associate is fired or let go from any reputable big law firm, there is definitely a good reason

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?
