I’m joining a firm in June as an MBA new hire. They just emailed to tell me my job is safe for now, but if things continue to spiral downward that I may not have a job. How worried should I be?

You should be exploring other options.

What case scenario you have to bow out of one opportunity, not ideal, but part of the current reality.

If you do end up with another offer, do your diligence on the book of business and pipeline. Try to assess their resilience. Choose something that is likely to survive a sluggish economy for a couple years.

Firms are focusing on avoiding layoffs. If rescinding accepted offers ultimately means retaining current talent, it may be an option that’s used. So yes - start working on Plan B.

Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
