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 was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

consultant keeps making spelling mistakes on every document, including when they just need to copy and paste text directly from email instructions. when they send me work they now say “let me know if you find any spelling errors” - and while i always check work because it’s a team effort, i feel like these careless mistakes could be avoided. english isn’t their first language (nor mine), is it insensitive to ask them to double check their work? or is there any other way to handle this?
