Recently got laid off in the middle of my search for an exit from consulting. Will this come up in background checks? If so, how do I address if it’s brought up?

I hate Kirkland for what they did to me. Got laid off due to intra-firm-politics at a point in my career where I don’t have enough experience to lateral, when the market is so bad for corp/M&A that even with experience getting hired isn’t likely with a Kirkland stain on the resume, during the holidays when getting interviews or even screeners is just as unlikely, and all of this without any warning at all. Recruiters can’t or aren’t helping. I don’t know what to do, but this is a nightmare

We have a big project going on and I am the only point person(initiate it, did lot of work, and knows the deets well), seems like my mgr wants to get a headcount. But I want to use this opportunity to get promoted, how can I get this across? Mgr is new(they fired my old mgr), mgr’s mgr is new too(re-org). So not sure if I should/can make a case, or how.

Anyone know any biotechs/Pharma (ideally oncology-focused) that are looking for a VP (or even SD for the right TC) of BD/CorpDev and allowing for remote/travel models (if not Boston-based) or at least a Boston-based hybrid model? I know someone with good biotech/Pharma BD&L experience that is looking for a new role given the current biotech layoff scene. Feel free to share any company names with open roles or DM, if preferred.

Is PwC AC doing lay offs?
Especially from Tech Consulting (Insurance/Guidewire) practice??

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

I think I’m going to be fired tomorrow morning and I am not even sad about it.

I know this doesn’t count as an interview, but overall professional advice needed:
Any tips on asking for better severance pay?

How many days would I be able to stay If I Country if I quit (not fired) my job that I have a h1b for? Moving to Canada and need some time to close up shop here.

I was laid off last to last week, can anyone of your please refer me to your company, I'm 1.5 year exp in Java Spring Boot Angular Postgres Camunda BPMN..

laying off 1250 people and forcing everyone who didnt get laid off to make a post "offering support" doesnt make it better that you failed to plan appropriately and view your employees as dispensable when the going gets rough.

Dont buy into the propaganda these tech firms are putting out. And dont be that person with stockholm syndrome thanking your employer for a "great experience" when they threw you to the wolves as soon as it suited them.

So why do company merges result in mass layoffs?

I heard UKG has fired many employees this year?
Is it good for job security?

hearing there was massive layoffs at concentric today. in the dozens. can someone confirm or refute?

My partner (along with his team) has been laid off from an equity research role. He is on H1b visa and has until end of February to find a new job otherwise he’ll have to leave the country. I would be very grateful if someone knows of any sell-/buyside investment analyst opportunities and can refer, please. Years of experience: 9yrs. Always been with II-ranked teams and twice voted rising star. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

PwC folks, so you know at eMobility, what's the estimated delivery date of AT&T iPhoneX grey 256G if placing an order now? I think eMobility says mid Dec but that might be for Verizon users.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

I have come for RTO after withdrawing resignation only to hear from the security guard that I'm TERMINATED from client end! I have not received a single mail on it. Rather, Accenture retained me for the same client's project. My AVP, Manager, HR all aware. They are telling I'm on Accenture payroll. I got a re on-boarding email from client end today too. What's going on?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

Are there any LA brands/agencies who would consider a candidate that’s not in LA... aka work from home (same time zone though)? 🤔

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Our new social media specialist is using Canva to create posts and forgoing the work created by the design team. I believe if designers are available they should be doing the work of designers—we typically handle these in InDesign. Have not encountered this workflow before so I’m looking to see how others are generating social images these days.

The bond yield curve just inverted. If you don’t have to make any major purchases for the next year, that’s probably a good thing

Is it normal for an agency to give you only 48 hrs to accept an offer? I need more time to think and process. I asked for two extra days because I just don’t want to make a rash decision they said no

Hi, would like some opinions on M&C Saatchi NY. Culture, hours, people and creativity there. Thanks!

AKQA and Grey merger. What do we think?

How are things looking in LA? Any dates set to go back into the office? I’m currently in NYC and considering a job over there

I know, I know I shouldn’t complain but it HATE my job. My mental health has never been worse. And I’m so so beyond unhappy. Any advice to get through this seeing as the job market might be difficult to navigate at this time?

VMLY&R merged with Geometry, to develop the "most powerful commerce capability and ad agency at global scale", who's worked with them because this seems like a stretch based on my experience with both.

What was your most amazing day in advertising?

In your agency, who owns brand strategy implementation and brand experience across channels (storytelling (communication goals & brand narrative), brand content recommendations, tactic ideation and approach, user experience, etc.)?

You ever have one of those days where nothing is going your way, and then you buy some ice cream to bring home, and then the ice cream falls on the floor?
