You have been very lucky IMO

A majority of the layoffs were service employees. That being said, white collar are also getting hit but not in the same numbers. For one, major banks are still standing, but it will get tougher if things don’t turn around

The mortgage and loan defaults are what it scares me. That will hit the financial industry (retail, consumer, commercial banking) in a very significant way. Would also depend on whether the US government provide more stimulus (highly likely before the elections). And once November comes around, we will fall off a cliff. Classic pump and dump

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?
