Has anyone heard talks about layoffs in litigation? Seems like litigation is too busy, but have heard rumors about litigation layoffs for associates.

Has Accenture strategy capability network done away with the rating system ...If yes then how do they layoff or decide on annual hikes ?

Another point to keep in mind amidst PwC layoffs is we have ~60K global in advisory. Condolences to ya'll who got axed, I'd be just as infuriated. How large are your firms consulting practice?

Question, if your work told you you had to sleep with your boss or be fired would you comply?

Wow, being on Fishbowl really opened my eyes to how volatile the industry really is...layoffs galore right now. Sending good vibes to everyone affected ✨✨✨

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

What is the layoff compensation at Kpmg lol

Interms of Job security in IT Streams, How secured Invesco is when compared to other IT Companies ? Will the current recession impact Invesco and can we expect any layoffs in Invesco India as well ?

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

Have the rumored layoffs at FIS impacted the Jacksonville office? Seeing that new building makes me wonder!

Hello Everyone,

I have posted about my experience at Epam hiring and firing systems where I have described the story how they have hired and fired me without prior notice and no single project interview has been taken.

Now, my linkedIn account is not accessible and epam has reported to linkedIn.

Can anyone suggest to me what I should do now?

Layoffs have started at Accenture, mostly senior managers. Any news to share?

How common are layoffs at healthcare agencies?

I was very successful as an internaional sales exec at a startup for 15 years before we were bought by a large publicly traded company. The culture shift was dramatic, as was the way that I was expected to work. I was laid off a tortuous 3 years after the buyout.

While I was in some ways relieved (put me out of my misery!) I spiralled pretty hard and after a while started working PT jobs, gig type stuff, etc. while I figured things out, and healed from burnout.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Hello everyone,
My company is getting merged with Citrix.
I have 6+ years of experience into data analysis & I work on a BI tool Spotfire.
My current Fixed is 12.50LPA + 10% variable.
My manager and I feel I'm highly underpaid but cannot do anything about it due to the merger.
Layoff is not a concern for me, I want to understand the impact of the merger on my financial career.
Should I stay or look for another job?
Also want to know the market standards for my role and yoe.
Thank you!

Thoughts on pivoting to MBB for a single year as an experienced hire, primarily for the resume boost? Unsure of how a short tenure might impact exit ops for someone who knows that they want out of consulting in the not too distant future.

Applied to BCG NYC office in December and made it to the final round, but wasn’t given an offer. Want to reapply to NYC, but was told by a friend in recruiting that they wouldn’t give me a first round being that I was rejected only 7 months ago. Anyone know whether it not this is true?

Hello Everyone

I accepted an offer with a great company. I am happy with the position and there are good growth opportunities but I wasn't able to negotiate well and I accepted the offer as I was laid off and wanted to start a new role asap. I feel my salary is too low and with all the rising costs it will be hard to sustain. What should I do in this case and is there a way I can ask my company to increase my base salary.

Kind of want to write a book about biglaw called “Oh, the Hoops You’ll Jump Through.”

What’s the right calendar invite subject line to schedule a call for giving notice? I am a huge fan of my firm but I’m leaving for a big upgrade. I’m very sad but this is best for me.

Working Canadian big law. Really burnt out and not enjoying work. Very understaffed and work product is suffering. Partners not hiring new associates, classic toxic work/availability expectations etc etc. have an opportunity to work with a boutique firm, make same amount making now but plus % of billables. Smaller deals and less sophisticated but opportunity to help grow the firm and be more entrepreneurial. Weekends generally protected and lower yearly target. What would you do?

How many billable hours do you aim for per month? Thinking of lateraling to a firm with no official hours target and wondering what I should be aiming for - is 170/mo (2000 per year) acceptable? Don’t want to burn out but also don’t want to get fired lol. I also understand there’s little control over how much I’ll work but just wondering what y’all think is good enough.

Is "attention to correspondence" an appropriate description for the 17 hour block bill yesterday? Asking for a friend.

What’s the typical ramp up period for a first year? I’m lucky to hit a few billable hours each day. Started in September.

Has anyone worked for a CA firm while living in CA, then continue to work for that firm remote? I am inquiring re: the tax implications and if CA will still try/be able to collect taxes even when my address, etc. changes. Thanks!

I’d like to get modest appreciation gifts for some of the junior associates I work with (think bottle of wine, maybe chocolate), but some are in other offices. Any recommendations on how to do this, or should I just send them a gift card?

Favorite family vacation destinations? I figure I should spend some of this money on something fun.

With the lateral market booming, what are the odds of a second year lit associate being able to lateral into a corporate practice somewhere? The only thing I like about lit is discovery and reviewing documents and transactional work seems more my speed.

I’ve heard the only people that last at V15 firms are those that just bill above the requirement of 1950. Is it possible to do that as a mid level lateral?

How far in advance of taking vacation do you let partners know you’ll be out of office? Is one month before a week long vacation okay?

I need some help. I'm struggling immensely to cope right now and have been for a while. I'm talking about breakdowns and crying every day. I can't ask for help as I'm going to hand in my notice in two weeks and then stay for another three more only, but I feel incapable of even getting through those five weeks. How do I make it out ok?

We are very leanly staffed and I have a principle role in many transactions as sole associate which makes it more challenging, to both cope and take space.
