I go from “yeah, I do have a path to partner at this firm” to “I will surely be laid off in the next recession” in the course of an hour. Anyone with me?

One issue with the work from home revolution will be the offshoring of jobs. I got laid off and my replacement will be from Mexico City. One time zone away and probably half my salary. It is what it is.

Which agencies are going through layoffs

Blue shield of CA fired 375 people. Any other insurance companies having massive layoffs?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Is PwC AC doing lay offs?
Especially from Tech Consulting (Insurance/Guidewire) practice??

After 10 years of working as a FTE PM/producer I’ve now been laid off (thanks Covid) and am looking to start freelancing for the first time. What advice do you have for a new freelance PM/producer?
Also, what kind of insurance do you take out as a freelancer?

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

Hi Sharks,

I got an offer from FTD for permanent work from home. But i am not sure about the company.. Also the market conditions are bad too.. There are many layoffs from various companies.. Looking for suggestions..

Coworker got fired because they stole my clients! We have a policy stating that the realtor who initiated the contact should be the one closing the deal to give them a fair chance. I feel bad but they should have read the policy...

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

NDAs - signed my first one as a part of a severance agreement. thinking about leaving an honest review for this company, but unsure about the liabilities that come with this. (NDA mentioned no defamation) leaning on the side of letting it go, but this employer sucked BAD and i want others to know. ik its hard to give a straight answer bc it depends on the agreement, but wheres the line between bad mouthing vs your honest experience?

Has anyone working tech for a bank been laid off yet? Tech layoffs all over the media but no one is talking about developers at banks (who make up 1/3 of headcount in some cases)

Does anyone have any insights about the layoff rumors at Morgan Stanley?

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Hi folks, May I know the bonus and hike cycle in KPMG India

I have an interview for a Principal Renewals Manager role at Slack/Salesforce this Wednesday and I was hoping for some advice on how I can wow them? Ive done a lot of research and made loads of notes but get very nervous in interviews and dont always articulate how I would want to / say everything I want to cover. It also doesnt help that the job im in at the moment makes me absolutely miserable and im desperate to leave… help!

What’s the quant cutoff for M7? Scoring Q49 / Q50 but want to know if Q49 as a consultant is OK or good enough.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

Does any kind soul here have any extra United upgrade points to lend for an urgent upcoming flight? :)

What do I do if I’ve only worked one job (the one I’m currently at) and another company is asking for references? I could do professors from college but not sure if that’s a good idea. I wish I could give my current manager’s contact but I don’t want her knowing :/

Hello All ..from which app or website I can check my public holidays in Pwc AC?

de Blaiso says we’re on track to hit orange zone of restrictions post Thanksgiving which means no more indoor dining among other things.

The metric they are using is % positivity rate.

My question is this - is this a fair metric and if not what is a better metric to compare if it’s getting worse and we need social controls?

I only got tested when I traveled out of state for wedding and thought I was at a high(er) risk for exposure. Tested positive but I was already expecting that. (Contd)

Looking for book recommendations on strategy/strategic thinking. Something along the lines of Contagious but open to any options. Thanks in advance!

Cold showers hit different

I feel stuck as a Strategy Manager and want to make a career pivot at 35. But have no idea what i should do? Any suggestions, resources or books that I should read to help with my existential mid thirties crisis? I have experience in technology consulting, corporate strategy, freelance consulting and law. Do I go back to being an Attorney, or do I retrain and become a financial advisor or something else?

Recently married 🐠🐟: need recommendations for decorators for wedding in Long Island NY. Trying to stick to budget but the prices I'm getting quoted are crazy. Why are flower centerpieces $175??? 😩

Monday Status Report: Flight upgraded to first ✅. Aforementioned flight delayed 1.5 hours ❌. Partner canceled 6pm meeting ✅. Hotel upgraded to a suite at the Ritz ✅✅. Not bad for a Monday, not bad....

Interesting stats this morning. EY hired 65k people this year from 2million that applied. 3% hiring rate. One person hired every 8 minutes. What is Harvard’s acceptance rate again (5.4%)?

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.

Deloitte 🐟: any outright compliance issues with a spouse owning an llc?

Is it not a good idea to look for a new job in the current/anticipated future economic state? Don’t love my job and want to make a move but not sure if I’m taking a big risk if the economy takes a downturn soon

Has anyone actually received their reimbursement for filing taxes in multiple states? I got told that it would process with payroll last Friday but I don’t see it in my bank.

Can I replace myself with RPA and as long as no one notices, keep getting paid?

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?

Best consulting firms to work for in Hartford CT area?

Party in the USA starts playing at the bar. Bro next to me "Dude, it's your song, L-A-X."

Thinking about asking for a raise. Anyone successfully done this midyear? Should I walk if I don't get it? Haven't seen a raise in two years, even though significantly increased responsibilities.

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?
