If I got laid off, can my friends at other firms submit me for a referral bonus to be hired as an experienced associate/staff? Or is the entire point to poach from direct competitors?

Of course, yes. One of my friends got laid off from EY recently and he had a Deloitte interview lined up soon after, through a referral. Stay strong, OP! You'll get through this.

Sorry OP! Bonus aside, I'm sure folks here as well can refer you as well. I saw someone else create a dummy email id and share it here for others to contact them.

Why'd you get laid off if you mind sharing?

Agree with @A2

^ OP said "If"

Wait, OP, you did get laid off? Damn, sorry to hear that. I thought this was a hypothetical situation, my bad.

Sorry OP! Follow D2 suggestion and you'll be referred to several firms. Good luck 🍀

What

*edit* what part of FS? I was considering making a switch to one of those groups

@PwC 1 across levels and across practices. Primarily banking is the rumor but no one is safe. There are at least 10 different posts on fishbowl from the past couple weeks discussing this in detail if you're truly interested

@OP Thanks I'll check. I've been talking to a partner that pulled me to support a staff aug project, and this would be a bit of a plot twist

PwC 1 - if you are located in a top FS market, that could make sense. Though, I do know people who were cut from NYC.

Yea I'm NYC

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
