Is anyone working somewhere with a hiring freeze right now? I started this job about 6 months ago and I'm worried I'll be the first one out now that they're officially pausing. Should I be looking for another job, and how much will this affect my resume if I get laid off?

I was in the same boat, in the same situation. If you’re lucky you’ll get a severance package but I suggest you start looking

Damn that's what I was worried about. I don't think there are any guarantees of severance where I'm at either. Thank you

Same here. I also worry about my stay here. I am currently looking for job offers just in case. I can never be sure considering the situation.

It really is a tumultuous time right now. Hope that doesnt happen to you though, good luck!

Hi people, I am going to have the interview with TRS - Financial services team at EY london. This job is basically assesing the Non-performance loans portfolios of the banks. The recruiters said it will be a case study lasting for 2.5 hours. The case will not be given in advance. They only said it is a about a fictious bank. Any one in this group has any suggestions or thoughts about this upcoming case study?

Did not get an offer from Morgan Lewis last week. I went to a seminar today where the partner I interviews was speaking (he is the main partner of the group and he has like a 5 person team).

Not sure how I feel about the situation haha

Agency recruitment managers! How do y’all set goals for your department? Do you focus on outreach goals, applicant goals, purely hiring goals no matter the outreach numbers, conversion rates, etc?

Any insight would be so helpful!
