Is pwc consulting the only area with layoffs? I asked my accountant buddies and none of them knew what I was talking about.

Pwc4 - The work is less exciting. Clients tend to be less than intelligent and inefficient at best. You have to deal with stupidity and ambiguity on a regular basis. Certifications and security clearances have more importance. The current dialogue from my partner is "you get paid leas but have more job security". Which is bullshit. You get paid less and the work life balance is typically better.

Accounting firms tend to downsize investment in their consulting/advisory divisions during periods of low economic growth. Investing in their accounting activity is a much safer bet

Yeah. Advisory was a little bloated. They hired a lot last year without having work ready for people. A lot of people spent months on the beach waiting for work that never materialized.

P4 Public Sector is very stable and pretty much no travel. You get on a project and it lasts for 6 months or a year...a lot more job security, but a lot more red tape in getting work. Dealing with the slow government here. I enjoy it. Still fast paced in that you work your ass off, but the Govt is not "quick" to make decisions...id recommend if you want more stability in consulting...

Thank you p3/p6. And this is all based in DC right ?

Yup

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting. I just hate the practice area so much that every time I am asked to do something I just get it done as quickly as possible and can’t be bothered to put in effort. I think I need to quit so I’m not fired for bad performance with a horrible reputation. Am I nuts and should I just wait til they let me go?

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application.

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
