Got laid off mid April and just accepted an offer at Deloitte. I’ve had so much anxiety over trying to find a job during this pandemic and I’m glad to put my mind at ease!

I started at Accenture July 2019 and was on the bench the entire time. I never got to shadow anyone either. It was a completely strange experience.
Moved to a boutique firm March 2020 because they offered a raise, the chance to work, and overall seemed a better fit. Stressed the “start up culture” which I never took as a negative until corona hit and I was laid off April 2020.
So now I’m moving onto Deloitte where hopefully I’ll make a longer stay and actually work.
I fully realize this is my 4th job in a little over a year which is absolutely crazy but 🤷🏻‍♀️
All my experience is Workday consulting.

Workday and anything cloud related is typically in high demand. Very few firms have cut Workday resources. Just try to pick up some more difficult certs for even more job security (payroll, finance, prism, integrations etc).

I’m confused how’s Deloitte doing layoffs and also hiring on these multiple consultants that are starting on July ? I actually had an offer in March and didn’t take it because I had a looming fear of layoffs and have good job security in current industry role

Workday / Cloud ERP are always in high demand even during a pandemic, it just switches to different industries that aren't greatly impacted by the pandemic (healthcare, pharma, public sector etc)
