There were ~1200 layoffs a few weeks back and rumors of more happening after performance calls in July.

The 1200 layoffs are actually less than we normally have this time of the year.

Honestly I’m amazed that people are saying Accenture has taken the biggest hit - our revenue is down 1% vs Deloitte’s being down 17%

like

Deloitte US as a whole is down 17%? That's insane! In my country Financial Advisory and Tax were down by around that much but the other 3 service lines were strong and even had some growth.

I read about layoffs in the bowl - what kind of rumors

like

Can’t we just assume layoffs are going to happen across the board? I think all have confirmed or hinted it will happen, just a matter of timing differences between the firms.

I understand . We are definitely less protected in the US, but I’ll point that out economic state is worse than the last recession back in 07’/08’, although there are differences people should expect a real impact with a longer recovery period. I’ve gone through the last recession- we will rebound, but people should 100% prepare themselves if they haven’t yet.

Confirm what?

Yeah it’s not a rumor, layoffs are happening. Not sure about specifics for which groups and geographies though!

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android).

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.
