Is USDC the first area Deloitte will look to downsize keeping in mind the recession? I got a good rating but I’ve only been 11 months at the firm and am terrified of being laid off.

Don't think so, firm would want to target high cost, low revenue centers first. So think low utilization / low rating consultants at high salary bands

USDC is the last place they’ll cut. As someone with high ratings, and I assume working on government work, you are chillen.

Speaking as USDC practitioner: No.
They’d make cuts to Core before USDC. Higher ROI to use USDC practitioners compared to Core.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
