Do big companies like Big4/ Acn factor in how new an employee is when considering layoffs? Impact of lay-off to new employee (6months or less) is higher with relo and other factors considered.

Yes, that’s one of the factors considered. I don’t believe they consider it from your perspective though. Newer = generally easier to replace

Lay-off decisions are never made based on impact to employees. It’s who’s the best and can deliver the most. New employees often aren’t at full potential yet. Now what does factor in is the pipeline you entered from, often don’t want to rescind offers or immediately fire a class from a target school or else you develop that reputation with following classes.

If one gave their LOA notice for later in the year, are they at a higher risk of getting laid off?

Depends - sometimes it’s “first come first go”

Depends on a ton of stuff. For example, did that new employee sit on the bench for 6 months? Did that new employee fail to complete basic expectations? I’ve heard of folks that were new that got laid off for the reasons above

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable

Does anyone here live near East 83rd St and 3rd Ave? I'm interested in an apartment there but I noticed a huge construction site at the corner there. The agent said the construction there is now mostly just facade work on the top so it's not noisy any more, but I don't 100% buy that. If anyone lives in that area, can you please tell me if you can still hear any construction noise from inside your apartment when you close your windows at all? Thanks!
