Got unexpectedly laidoff in June as an analyst just about to make C. Was told it was because of market conditions and was told that I can return back when market is better. I saw a job post for C for a new vertical they are building (commercial strategy) Should I apply to come back? I have an offer from another consulting firm, which pays higher, but will be starting off in an internal consulting role.

It’s natural to consider going back to an old company because it feels familiar and even safe. But things happened for a reason, better to not go back. If you were laid off, that someone in that group values you less than your peers.....if you go back, you could start with that perception of your capabilities as baggage. Go to the new company.

Take the internal role.

Why return when they were so rough with you? Find your wings and pick up some other skills. If you want to come back in a year or so, you'll come back higher. You might find the internal role gives you more flexibility and security.

Agree with everyone else. Don’t value a company that didn’t value you. Use this as a new opportunity to start fresh :)

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested.

I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?
