So sorry. How long were you at PwC? don't do anything right away. pwc1 is correct about next steps. Take some time for yourself before deciding. It's always a shock at first but you will get through it.

Please let's be empathetic with op and try to help. At PDubs there has been a terrible trend of laying off first years who have barely settled into their first job. This is stressful no matter what your level.

What level and what city? There was someone else looking to move cities in a rush. Don't do that either.

What practice and service area? Still layoffs at Deloitte?

That's terrible. You'll end up better off though, keep your head up. Not to be rude but also curious about practice, city, and level.

Enjoy the severance. Know that you're worth more that whatever they were paying you.

Than*

Deloitte, PWC, Baine, IBM, EY all have announced "staff reductions"

Funny how so many people call it a lay off when it's often just fired. Not saying this is the case here but it's def a trend

How would you know and what does it matter? The person still has to absorb the shock, make a plan and move on.

I wouldn't know in this case, this app is anonymous. Layoffs are generally not isolated to one person and are part of a broader business resizing. Also, low performers generally stick out over a period of time. If they don't maybe you are one of them. But not saying that is the case here.

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle
