Better start planning for the worst, hope for the best. In case of the former, be prepared to move, the logistics are quite painful, so do spend time on that along with the other stuff you need to do.

This is extremely odd, I know about several engagements that literally could not find cyber staffing since everyone is so booked. Good luck OP, I’m sure you will find something great!

Yes I guess so

Op - sorry to hear, what was the reason they gave?

Cyber in PwC was doing well. So I thought.

Were you laid off or fired? Very distinct difference between the two, if you were indeed laid off, what reason did they provide? Were you utilized? I thought PwC Cyber was doing a lot better now.

They said they could not find a project for me!

How long were you on a bench? And did you actively seek out projects to get yourself staffed?

Sorry to hear that! All the best luck in this time. I’m also in H1B and have to deal with this fear everyday...

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
