How has the FAAS consulting industry done in past recessions? I’m currently moving from audit to FAAS, but should I be worried about layoffs?

We’re so understaffed I can’t imagine it’ll be an issue

Let me know if interested in Riveron Faas - great group

There were layoffs in 2020 but a big boom in hiring in 2021. This year its slowed to a normal pace but no talks of layoffs at least from what I’ve heard. Our bonuses are probably gonna be tiny though in b4

RE has slowed down IMO. Still some work in multifamily and new construction/development (and workouts/restructurings/foreclosures), but hotels, office, retail not doing great at the moment for obvious reasons. Have heard of multiple layoffs, but not mass layoffs yet, and I don’t think we’re going to mass layoffs since this is clearly a temporary pandemic related issue.

Would love to hear from others on what they’re seeing in RE. Please share your geographic market/firm size/relevant info.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers. I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Does anyone have any advice in regards to building your case as a Sourcing Specialist and how this role is vital on a talent acquisition team? Especially with 90-98 open reqs and at least 15-20 of those are immediate needs and the 3 recruiters on the team do not source their candidates on their own. I know my reasons but I’m curious if anyone has anything to say maybe I haven’t thought of that could be helpful for me to use, thank you!

I had my first interview today for a director position I would consider a dream role, and it went well. They want me to talk to the VP, but I found out I would definitely have to relocate to a different state to execute tasks.

The salary is within range of what I would accept, but I just moved to a different state.

I want to leverage this, and follow up with the hiring with another place (similar position in my current city and state) I haven’t heard from yet. Do you think that’s wise to do?

The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)
