I'm seeing a lot of concerning posts about people getting fired in PwC. I just got an offer to join their Cyber group. Is this a good time to join or is it better to wait? The offer looks attractive.

Are you in cyber at K

Yep.

Nah! PwC cyber is really good.. I wouldn't worry too much about the layoffs! It's really a great group.

@P2 - are you from Cyber?

Yep. FS Cyber

What demographic are they firing? Just new hires or experienced seniors and managers from well performing practices as well?

What's the offer? Do you have a cissp?

Yes I do. The offer is +20% of current base.

Why not use that to leverage K to fork up. My advice would be to stay. Haven't heard about K laying off.

What level are you joining?

By the way k has let go of some partners heard .

I heard.

Hello! I joined a company in the UK 6 months ago, and received a £20,000 gross sign on bonus - clause associated to this however was that I stay for a minimum of 12 months. Unfortunately, the role is really proving to be the wrong fit, and I am looking to leave.

Question for you all - if I resign, I assume I would be expected to pay back the sign on bonus despite me only receiving approx 12k after tax. Anyone know the process for a tax clawback for something like this? Thanks in advance!
