In 2008 with the layoffs who primarily got laid off? Junior associates, mid-levels, etc. or were incoming associates just delayed?

Folks, any advice on applying for jobs at a previous client? As a firm we have great relationships with the senior client leadership and I am afraid that the GEP and my RL will eventually find out when I submit my job application. On the other hand, if I tell my RL prior to applying, I will probably end up towards the top of “people to be laid off” list.

Someone under me was laid off. I referred her to the position I turned down. She got it. Happy for her. Can I ask what her offer was/what she’s making? I know I shouldn’t need to.....

Can I still collect unemployment if I am vacationing outside the country laid off? If I am still searching for work remote can I still certify benefits? Thanks for any help.

How do you tow the fine line between sticking up for yourself and not talking back to a partner? For context, our firm has seemingly started making a paper trail for layoffs and I disagree with some of the emails that I have received. I want to respond in a way that covers my own ass. However, I don’t want to piss anyone off, especially if I have read the situation incorrectly.

Hi guys, I got fired after H1B is approved but before it’s activated on Oct 1st. Is there any way I can transfer my H1B to my new employer? The H1B was filed via consular notification. I got fired in August, so don’t have any pay stubs for September. Btw currently I’m on STEM OPT.

Seeking advice. Has anyone negotiated severance pay during covid? I was just laid off after being with the company for 3yrs, working countless hours of overtime that I was never compensated for as an exempt employee and they only offered me two weeks pay as severance. Would appreciate feedback. #severance #covid #layoff

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

I’m in big law and went on flex time (paid less, expectations of billed time decreased) well before COVID, due to family obligations. Anyone else here in the same boat?

I’m wondering if others have raised their flex time status as a way to kindly decline work if it gets to be too much... with big law layoffs and furloughs abound, speaking up feels like a catch-22. I’m the breadwinner, grateful to be employed, and trying to stay sane.

R there any layoffs in ibm ?

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!

The hiring manager for the role I’m interviewing for was fired right after my final round. Recruiter emailed to tell me decisions would be pushed off another week because they need to fill the role before proceeding. What do you make of this?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

There have been multiple times when this guy makes plans with me and then day of doesn’t follow up or cancels (blames it on work or doesn’t give an explanation).

What jobs to people look at when going to industry after working in Risk Advisory? I have my CPA but I honestly don’t really feel like I know much about accounting (studied for the test, not to retain the info) and wouldn’t really want to continue doing Risk Advisory considering I’m leaving the role. Just not sure what else is out there since I feel like our work is very specific to IA and serving clients, how does that switch to private?

I switched two years ago from regional real estate/energy to a local small, but established residential real estate practice. While I’ve gained so much practical experience and run my own book here, I want to shift to a non-traditional remote role in real estate but keep getting turned down. I have strong credentials but I’m worried this small firm experience is killing my marketability to large companies.
