I don’t know why but I have a fear of getting fired from the job always at the back of my mind. Work in solution selling n biz dev for a practice, not billable/ delivery job at a single customer.

I feel the same way. For me, it's because I graduated during the great recession and grew up in the rust belt. It was hard to get my first job outta college and had a lot of friends laid off. I also have a lot of family growing up that lost everything because of downsizing.

I've worked really hard to change my mindset. It's not conducive to this career to have a mindset of paranoia and desperation. I can't really give you advice except to look around you and realize things aren't like that here. It's not happening to others and won't happen to you.

Pwc1-can you expand on that? I'm at Cap, but would like the outsider's perspective.

like

From an outsiders perspective (so take it with a grain of salt), Cap has turned into an Indian Pure Play type brand with a lot of ok technologists, but no real business value to clients. Customers are choosing Cap when price is the key decision point, which puts you in competition with the Tech Mahindras of the world instead of the -Accentures, Deloittes or PwCs.
Your view may be different than mine, but that’s what I’m hearing.

Thanks KPMG 1.. guess my circumstances are similar.

I would think that fear is exacerbated given the current climate at Cap. You may want to consider keeping options open.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.
