First, deep breath. A painful event in a long successful career - this doesn’t define you. If able, take some time to process. Then, network and get in touch with friends, colleagues, former classmates on leads. Apply across the broad spectrum and find time to learn and grow professionally. Best of luck and use your network (like this community) to your advantage. You’ll get through this

Thanks d1

I may have to leave this country. Any advice and support is welcome

Sorry to hear that OP.
Don’t feel depressed instead try hard to apply to other opportunities out in the market, there might be something better waiting for you.
What work were you doing at Deloitte?

I worked on technology strategy and m&a strategy

What city are you in?

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
