Hello bowl, hope all is well with you guys. If things don’t improve the next few months should we expect another round of layoffs ?

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

Any creatives impacted by Forsman Bodenfors layoffs? That agency does beautiful, powerful work.

Hello All,

So as we were the first to get hit with COVID in NY, we are seeing declines in numbers now. Travelers are cut short of their contract, our hours are getting cut, and staffs are laid off. Got a call yesterday from HR that now staffs need to file for unemployment to compensate for the lost hours. We risked our lives for this fight, now they are letting us go. Shit’s fucked.

Having trouble landing a decent job, I am 4 years post bachelors, environmental science. I can not seem to land a job above minimum wage. My last position (horticultural assistant) found myself taking on a good amount of projects that were being left unfulfilled, due to coworker politics (a few co worker’s wanted to see the supervisor fall short of expectations) in addition I had difficulty with my manager( sexual harassment) I rejected their advances, and I was laid off in December

Is it crazy to want to leave biglaw right now as a senior (6-7th year) m&a associate to go in house given the current state of our economy? Don’t think I’m in any real danger of being laid off at my current firm but not so sure if I were to go in house.

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?

Starting off my career as a tech adjacent generalist (strategy, project management, etc). I doubt I'll ever be a software developer or something, but I want my long term career path to remain very closely tied to tech. Anyone have tips on what I should be doing now in light of that? Nothing crazy specific, just what should I keep in mind early on?

Almost 4YOE at Big 4 TAS. Seen high turnovers this year. Thoughts on the following options: FPA vs. CorpDev vs. MM IB vs. MBA to BB/EB or MBB?

Recently started a new job and got completely fleeced by internal politics and am not gelling with leadership.

I had another offer from a cool firm - what’s the best way to ask if they would consider me again?

Has anyone gotten to the point where it is physically painful to try and concentrate? Not sure what to do at this point; had Ritalin for a bit, but I adjusted in like 10 days before the benefits went away. Now I’m scared I’ll just keep getting worse

Got H1B lottery picked up last year (2021). Now I have an approved petition. But I am not holding visa.

This bowl is dead, but if anyone is here, does PwC do sign in bonuses in Australia?

Anybody involved in the energy transition unit that is launching? Would love to hear more about it!

I’m a Senior Manager at PwC and on 125K + super. It feels painfully low given I have 8 years in consulting (including 5 at PwC). What’s a reasonable SM Consulting Salary in the country? Am I on a low Salary for PwC standards? These bands are hard to make sense of and tbh the markets hot in Aus / I think I finally want to jump ship...

Gotta laugh at the article in today's AFR about 11 PwC Australia partners shopping themselves around...with a potential to take 170 staff with them.

Article is well informed to say they are all from Consulting, but stops short to say which part of Consulting.

Do we think it's the Accenture team who came on-masse to run tech consulting ?

Hey there!

I’m currently working with PwC US and looking for opportunities in PwC Australia. Anyone available to chat?

Moving to Sydney for my MBA/EMBA. Looking for opportunities in that area.

Anyone else in AU firm nervous for the announcements tomorrow? Surprised there isn’t more activity on this bowl given everything that is going on

Happy to have just received my promotion to senior manager after a very challenging year, backed by an even more challenging year prior.
I've got my own beliefs what a senior manager does, or should do. I'm keen to hear transition challenges others have gone through when becoming a senior manager.

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC
