I’m a third year consultant, and I’ve just been laid off by Deloitte due to COVID. I’ve been looking at big strategy consulting firms like MBB and OW. It’s been a real struggle to find an open role or to come in contact with a recruiter. Any angel helpers out there with tips or connections?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but MBB isn’t hiring a laid off Deloitte Consultant

Which practice at D?

Laid off early July. It hurt for a while..

Working at an MBB and I don’t think we are doing lateral hires except in exceptional cases where the individual has extensive industry knowledge or experience. Feeling for you 😔

Thank you - it’s been tough, so I’ve been really casting my net wide beyond MBB. Other big 4, boutiques, tech firms, banking. Given the downturn, finding anything would be a blessing for me

D2 thanks for sharing but it says I don’t have access to view it.

Were you tagged as strategy at Deloitte?

Sorry to hear OP, same boat. At least we can blame it on Covid. This is our “2008” crisis

the reality is that all the consulting firms are going to suffer from this COVID recession. All of them will have more layoffs coming down the pipeline - big 4, MBB etc. A conversation with an MBB partner a few months ago ..... thinks the industry will suffer a significant drop (I can't remember the figure they quoted but within the range of 30-40% downturn in business) so no way they can all sustain the size they have right now. the big 4's do have the advantage of the accounting side, although they have not been doing great from adding significant margins).
Perspective to consider as you look for next role..

I think experienced hiring is frozen right now unfortunately...

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
