I don't get this.... How are you responsible for your own staffing?? You aren't selling the work. I don't understand being canned for low utilization... If you're not a partner/principal/director how is this your problem??

This is the stupidest thing ever. They have this idea that bench=lack of performance but then don't take individual situations into account. If you get laid off, find an employer that values YOU.

As an M2, you are, at that point, selling part of your work. If you cannot get staffed, that is usually an indication that you either do not have a good network or you do not have relevant skills. That being said, managers need a fairly low utilization % for year end so you might be okay for a while if you are doing well on firm initiatives

Super helpful answer coming.... it depends. Now we just need someone from KPMG to comment , so you can get input from every Big4 except the one that should matter to you.

Seriously though, too many factors at play to know. I have seen people get canned after 1 week on the bench and seen others last 3+ months.

My own experience is looking for and marketing your skills keeps you staffed. Build your network in the good times so you aren't SOL in the bad times.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
