does anyone think after these very recent contract cuts on the top 10 consulting firms, my internship offer at Leidos (one of the firms affected) may be rescinded due to that? i asked my recruiter and he said historically Leidos hasn’t rescinded interns offers due to economic downturn, but he said there are no guarantees

Great that you reached out to your recruiter as the first step. Since they’ve kept intern offers, that’s a good sign. But you’re right to think ahead. I’d recommend having a backup plan just in case. So keep networking and exploring other opportunities. Make sure you stay in touch with your recruiter and hiring manager for any updates. And think about how you can make yourself indispensable early on. If you want to brainstorm backup strategies, happy to chat more. Feel free to reach out.

Your intuition is probably right. If a company is forecasting a bad quarter, whether its private or publicly traded, one of the easiest levers to pull is a hiring freeze. I went through the exact same thing almost 20 years ago. I was recruited by a Fortune 10 company only to get my offer rescinded a week after accepting an offer. Three weeks later, the company imploded. That company was Enron.

Like everyone else said. I’d have a back up plan for sure. It’s better to be safe than sorry

I think more or less market trend will affect the vacancy

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?
