Depends on the extent of poor performance, anywhere from 3-4 to 12 months

2-3 years

Agreed. Those that I’ve seen let go before the 2 year mark have issues other than just poor performance (I.e not logging on/ coming into office when required)

Depends on how desperate the team is for a beating heart with a laptop

Depends on the firm size. If one of the top 25 firms, you’ll be fired after 1 bad performance, in an effort to offshore as much as possible

We've tightened the leash this year where we are cutting bait at 7-9 months for some

Regional firm around rank 50-70.
