If none of the other Big4 follow D’s lead in massive layoffs, how does D expect to recruit dedicated employees going forward? Sorry for D folks...

Deloitte’s always done this. Pretty well known for a complete lack of concern for their culture or employees. They know their reputation and partner carrot will carry them just fine.

I knew that even as 5th highest CSH in the region, I could straight up not trust Deloitte to back me when the next contraction hit, so I left 2 years back when I could still sell my house.

Moving to Deloitte as an experienced hire was the worst decision I’ve made in my career. Happy that I’m out and will be starting with another firm. Never going back

Wow! You all are hitting the nail in the head with your comments. I agree with everyone! Tone is set at the top and the toxic culture is a result of the frat culture as well as the values (or lack of) the leadership has. I was appalled to see the partners’ petty mentality and childish behavior.

Some good people but horrible culture!

Happy I went with PwC over Deloitte. PwC hasn’t resorted to layoffs yet or pay cuts. While some are upset with the bonus decision I’m just happy to be employed.

Nope. An ex-P partner who is now a D partner.

Because they have done this before and no one cares. Campus recruits don’t care or don’t get the message either. In my city DT has had more layoffs than the other Big 3 combined and frankly it’s not close.

I am coming back to this post as now some people are saying EY and PWC are laying off but it is framed as performance related. If this is true, Deloitte probably turned out to be the most honest and upfront about it. This world feels doubly cold and harsh.

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!!

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything. If anyone knows of any PM roles (hardware/software), please let me know. YOE: 2

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!
