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?

I have been laid off going on 3 months now and I’ve never felt so discouraged in my life. This job hunt for me has been frustrating and draining. It really has taken a toll on my mental health and maybe even confidence. I feel like I’m losing momentum. Any advice on staying positive throughout this journey? It’s so hard to stay upbeat and motivated at times.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
