Hi Guys,

Any important news that was addressed in townhall today? Anything around layoffs?

I was on leave so couldn't attend.

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Is there a possibility of layoffs in Barclays India?

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

I got an email from a Cybersecurity Advisory Partner with the subject "Catch-up". Last week we all rolled-off from project abruptly b/c the client terminated the contract. Am I getting laid off?

Have you ever seen a client fired in mid-production?

Laid off by Deloitte. 7 years of experience in strategy and operations consulting. Need help with companies that sponsor

Blue shield of CA fired 375 people. Any other insurance companies having massive layoffs?

Have an offer to start at Deloitte in July in Org Transformation consulting. If it doesn’t get pushed out because of the virus, is it a good time to switch firms in July? Concerned that layoffs may be imminent if I am so new to the firm. I will be coming in at the Consultant level if that matters.

Anyone worried about layoffs?

I am interviewing for a Sr. Program Manager role at Adobe. Glass door says ~252k. What a typical base would be? How does adobe feel in the market right now as far as layoffs and expansions?

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

Hi Verizon Fishes,

Need your feedback on Verizon India Job security, I will be joining soon in Verizon. I got some negative feedback from social media that Verizon fired around 1000 employees without notice. It should have happened on 2019.

Can you pls share your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

When you hear that staff 1s we're just laid off... 😳

What do you hate about BigLaw?
I actually love it. I was a paralegal in BL during law school. Maybe I am use to the environment? What am I missing? Help me remove the rose colored glasses. The cases are interesting, pay is fantastic, offices are beautiful, and the research resources are a big reason why I never want to leave. Sure there are partners/senior associates that don’t respect you or your time. That happens everywhere and would mean you need to move firms or sections. What am I missing?

Are there actually tax cuts switching from home office in NYC to Hoboken?

For ex consultants without finance backgrounds who transitions to PE or Growth do you have any recs on podcast books to read that helped you build your PE/Investing knowledge?

Hi Fishes,

Anyone know of any good dentists in the McLean, VA area? I’ve had one too many bad experiences picking dentists myself, so if anyone has good recommendations, that would be super helpful!

EY law question - Checked the online portal and it seems like petition is ready to be sent to me but lawyers have stopped responding. Any idea what might be going on? (H1B1 Consular processing)

Another foot-in-my-mouth situation where what I said was misinterpreted but still shouldn’t have said in the first place. My lack of filter, especially after a few drinks, is constantly getting me in trouble. How many of you are struggling with not having your mouth lead your brain?

Long term gig at tech client - how to keep my style intact but not look stuffy? I’ve been doing the jeans, collared shirt, jacket look with work shoes/ boots. Any other ideas? 🙋🏻‍♂️🙏🏼

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

My coworker always takes a super long lunch. How does he have the time to get anything done?

How's the job market now? Any better???

Looking for a salesforce referral, highly qualified, passionate product manager seeking something new! Will DM the role(s)!

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

Does anyone know if I can move from a PwC firm in one country to another? Thanks in advance.

I was complaining about wfh initially since it was right in the middle of busy season. But now since things have slowed down and I'm working 40 hour weeks, I don't want to go back 😫

EY GDS or Macquarie. Both offering same salary. Which would be better?Macquarie Group EY

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.

What does everyone else think?
