How long does it take for me to get fired if I keep being unassigned?
My team got dissolved due to internal restructuring/regrouping and I am teamless now. My former partner is moving to another team and he said he won't take me with him. All other memebers of the former team except for one junior left the firm already. Not sure if my profile fit for any other team. I got unassigned today. How long do you think I have until I get fired?!

No worries. Just network and find a project in a different team. Do you know any partners outside your team? Do you have an area of interest? Look up those Partners in the directory, and send them your bio. Explain the situation. I am interested in x, and my team was just dissolved, so I am looking to align with a new partner.

Thanks for your advice. Will use my unassigned time for this

Your former partner not taking you with him, or reassigning you, is a red flag. Is he helpful? Can he recommend you to other Partners? If there was a performance issue, start looking.

I have shown poor performance when I started working. It got significantly better but it's hard to change the first impression. Also, the team that the partner is moving is quite different from the former team. I do not think he will give me stellar reference. Thanks for your comment. Will def look for opportunities outside the firm as well

I had a coachee - exp hire consultant- not show up for project and firm initiative and had an unpaid 10k balance on his Amex before he finally was let go a year later.

upside scenario it is

You can also ask HR what teams are looking fir resources, but it’s better to use your own network to align yourself to an area of your interest. HR will likely just align you randomly.

If you are friends with some colleagues whom you like, ask them. Again, it’s better to find a good team yourself than wait for HR to randomly assign you.

There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

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.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.
