Is industry slower or is it just me? I kind of want to get back into consulting and was at D before. Is it even worth coming back right now since the layoffs are happening?

Industry is slow as molasses. That’s why so many folks leave consulting and come back.

Tbh...this may be tough to hear but after the layoffs, there’s prob some openings for you, especially when business picks up

It entirely depends on the industry you’re referring to...

Take a puff and enjoy work life balance 💨

Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?
