Is up or out a real thing at DELOITTE? Is there like a general mark for each level for how long you can stay at that level before having to be promoted or laid off? More curious for the M and SM level

Up or out is always going to be the fall back position. All it takes is a slight downturn in the business and they will start “cleaning house” to make way for younger (cheaper) resources. Happens every 7 to 8 years. Just make sure you have a Plan B in place.

I think they are trying to move away from the up or out model, or at least be more flexible. See: Specialist and delivery tracks in addition to traditional.

For manager I would say your safe for the most part but SM the gloves come off for better or worse. You are in a vital position at this stage so it's more up in the air, based on firm office/economy/politics/etc. I feel like this goes for all big 4 though, not just Deloitte (NYC).

Not at Deloitte but a partner at my office has said they aren’t opposed to someone staying as a career senior if they want to. I think the same would apply to Managers too, maybe not SM though.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
