How’s Kearney doing now after all the layoffs?

I have chronic health issues and I’m severely depressed. I can’t even get myself to work anymore. If I don’t quit, I’m in serious danger of being fired. I feel that I need to just quit and take time off to get better but feel that it will be a stain on my career. I’m a pretty junior lawyer. Any advice. I just can’t do any work at all and I’m my anxiety and depression is spiraling out of control. I see a therapist I try to cope and it’s not working.

How has P&T been affected by recessions in the past ? Are internal app teams more safe ? Also how is the severance package calculated.

If your role is being closed/being laid off (not due to performance issues) just firm downsizing, do you tell the companies you are interviewing? How to phrase it?

Anyone hiring AE’s in Detroit? I got laid off for the first time ...

I had a Big4 joke for you but the people who are really good at telling it are being laid off due to “performance” reasons. 🤭

Who here has been laid off? How did you bounce back?

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

Hi! This is post is for a friend who was recently laid off due to budget constraints at their company. They’re actively looking for new roles in Business Analytics, Finance or a combination of both. Any referral would be extremely appreciated.

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

V20 NY, firm expectation is to bill 2K-2.4K a year. What happens if I bill 1800? How long until I get fired?

I can handle getting a talking to, or even getting berated. But when will real repercussions happen?

Fwiw, I’m a first year.

Hi Fishes

Please advice
I am currently working in TCS (11LPA 10 years Exp)

I have 2 offers in hand. TechM with 19LPA & DXC with 25 LPA (23L + 2L Variable)

DXC hired me for Indian client .My job profile on system admin. Work will be on Legacy Technology. Do I get chance to upgrade to cloud and shift to different Client

Most of the review on DXC is negative. How will be job security and work life balance. In most review I see "termination & layoffs." How is current situation in 2022
Thanks!

Should I negotiate a severance package even though it’s not in my contract and it’s not required by UK law?

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer. I haven’t filled out the updated work history background check info yet. The reason for termination was due to performance expectations not being met. Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.

Layoffs at CDM ... again

Anyone know why our miles didn’t carry over to the next year? Had 20k miles over Delta Platinum

What are fun water based things to do in DC? All boats seem to be booked up for Memorial Day.

Any recommendations on places to stay, visit in Dubai? Holiday family of 4 if that helps. Thank you!

How long is the current wait time for H4-EAD? My company attorneys are filing my wife's EAD on her behalf but they are saying she would not be able to travel outside US as it will update her i-94 records and it may reault in denial. Is that true?

Has anyone here moved for a job? Was it worth it? I got a job offer in a different state but I'm anxious to move.

Looking to settle a debate between myself and a few friends - at what point is it appropriate to ask someone you’re dating if they’re also dating other people? Relatedly, do you have an obligation to tell whoever you’re dating that you’re dating other people?

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

Morons actually thought free speech was free🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I have never been told about a bonus and haven’t gotten one yet for the previous fiscal year that ended In July. Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?

Females, how much of your personal life do you disclose to the men in your team? I.e. Lovers, relationships, ONS etc

Be careful of a growing subculture of politics with the new leadership team in place. This is a place where it is more important to get along than to get things done.

I have been an associate for 3.5 years. Going for a record here :). Hope I don’t get promoted so I can hit 5 years as an associate. Seems like a number no one can beat.

Hi 🐠,

I have recently joined Infosys and they have put me in a project where I will be the only guy working in the team and the team lead is at the onsite location. Are such projects good? Because I haven’t worked like this anywhere before.

TIA :)

All of us want the same thing! Money- Flex Timing- Great Culture- Respect - Value in what we are doing!
We, the employees make an organization. If all of us want the same thing, how come the culture of that organization still remains the same! Why can’t we be the pioneer? Thoughts…

What is the pay difference at consultant level between Dubai and Riyadh? Thanks

What salary to expect at a Director level at PwC in Saudi Arabia? I am a brit with over 15 years experience in transformation consulting, and never worked in the ME!

Just curious. Why are the ME offices always hiring? Is it because people are leaving all the time versus other regions? Or just that the business grows crazily all the time?

@women in the ME, I’m moving from NYC to Dubai. Is there some things to consider for attire in a business environment or is it the same as in NA? I’m thinking about business travel to other countries like KSA 👀

Is it true that UAE public entities are the best among ME public sector clients? If yes, why?

Do T2 consulting firms (think Kearney, OW) and MBB hire experienced professionals WITHOUT MBA (I.e., is a prestigious MBA mandatory in the region?). I already have a post-MBA position

Can anyone recommend any good recruiters that focus on the MENA region?

What are the strengths of Bain in the Middle East? How's the company compared to other players in the region?

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get a made to measure suit in Dubai? Would need to keep prices below 5k for a 2 piece.

Hello 🐠

Hi All- I’d love to hear from the community what the focus areas are for Tier 2 firms in the region Are there certain sectors the various firms specialize/ focus on? It seems like everyone focuses on public sector and tmt. Currently interviewing at a few and would be great to get some feedback. Thanks!

Anyone been able to work from Dubai for a UK/US firm and benefit from no taxes? I know if you are a US citizen you pay taxes where you are globally, but if you are British, then you only pay income tax on UK income - so if you live more than half the year abroad you are classed as non-domicile resident, but wanted to hear if anyone’s done this or heard about it?
