For those in the same boat, what are you hoping for? If you get a merit or promotional offer - did you plan on negotiating? Or are you going to take what you get and try to stay under the radar just in case layoffs are coming your way?

Compared to other models, how does PDM typically fare during layoffs? What service/industry would you say has been the safest?

Hey everyone. Looking to transfer from Risk advisory to some sort of deal analytics or operations analytics team. I have experience with tableau and excel and that is it.
