If they laid off an operations group and you are in a front office role then I wouldn't be worried. But if they laid off operations and you are being hired for operations then I would be worried. But in FS u can easily get hired by another firm within a week.

How much $?

It's an internal consulting, in-house strategy type of roll. Is that considered front office? And they did make some cuts to this group 6 months ago, but are rehiring again....not sure what to make of that

They cut too many, so you're safe?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!
