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.

I won’t disclose the firm, but it has several offices and around 400 employees.

Wanted to give an update on this -

They confirmed I still have a job, but my start date has been moved back a few months. I’m glad it all worked out!
