It seems in M&A tax space that EY and Deloitte are quick to hire when economy is good and just as quick to perform mass layoffs when it hits a snag. It also seems that PwC and KPMG generally keep their people during these times. Thoughts?

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

I got laid off today 🥲 would appreciate anyone who can help refer UX or product designer roles. 🙏

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

I was just laid off due to COVID. Felt invincible when the crisis began but now feel lost as if my career was ripped out with the tide. Slowly gaining motivation to get back on top

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

We were told that the probation period is a training period & not an elimination one. It was shocking as a few of those trainees were actually good.

What's something you've seen a manager fired for almost instantly?

Longshot post but does anyone have friends at City of Seattle, King County? Just recently got laid off by Accenture and I want to pivot towards work in the community, urban planning, etc. Really just want to do fulfilling work. Looking for a reference! 🙏

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

What should be the salary expectation for a senior software engineer role in bolt, Estonia.
I am currently at CTC of around 45 LPA in banglore in a growing company and trying to figure out if it is wise to go to another country especially considering the layoffs and potential global economic slowdown.

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

The Current scenario of high attrition rates and job shift by taking multiple offers has been caused by a resource crunch in the market. However I have a feeling that this particular scenario of shifting jobs by way of multiple offers and getting high salary is creating a bubble in the market which will burst causing a ripple effect of lay offs due to cost saving efforts by organisations in the near future. In a scenario like this how can one change the job by avoiding the bubble?

Anyone else hear that post-CRT partners will get fired this year in commercial advisory? How the hell does a partner get fired....

Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬

Most beautiful places to escape within three hours' driving of NYC? Forests, lakes, ocean, camping.

New job.
Moved from agency after 6yrs, into a startup (€8m Series A, high growth); first marketing hire. My manager is ex VC, seems to like managing by fear, let’s fire X, let’s cut the agency etc. sets tight deadlines & adds urgent items last minute. Others seem to feel I’m doing great but I am butting heads with him constantly about unrealistic workloads etc. Really not enjoying interacting with him, thinking about leaving... should I stick it out? I feel like I’m being abused, but need money!

I exited to FAANG from big4 and part of me is seriously thinking about getting an mba to go to mbb. Does that make any sense?

Can’t wait to move to Dallas area. Flower Mound is likely our first choice. Getting out of Chicago for better schools without dominant unions, low taxes, and better public safety

FL tax questions: 1.) last year I had 4 longer w2 gigs. Should I get tax preparer or do myself? Seems easy enough but im new to this so 🤷🏻‍♀️. 2.) do you write-off travel/lodging for out of city gigs?

Does AAS pay the same as FDD?

So do higher ups (managers/directors/etc) in FFD talk to each other about the progress of seniors and associates in a similar manner to how the staff are ranked during audit roundtables??

Anyone have experience working for a hedge fund? If so, positives / negatives?

Has anyone successfully established some boundaries with FDD? Or tried to communicate with your team a better work schedule? i.e. start earlier but get off earlier?

Just curious. Excluding business recovery / restructuring teams that are more counter-cyclical. What TS group do you think is the least cyclical? Valuation / modeling? Accounting advisory? Then lastly how “cyclical” do you view them?

What are exit opportunities from big 4 ITDD??

Can anyone speak to PwC’s new Corporate Development as a Service (CDaaS) offering? Saw it on LinkedIn and wondered if it’s a good gig. Currently in M&A Strategy at KPMG.

Best practices to avoid burning out in FDD?

EY TARAS or EY GCR??? Between these 2 service lines which has better pay and opportunities??

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

Super subpar SA in FDD, super subpar MBA, but can get a beer and talk to anyone… any trash IBs need someone with subpar smarts but high effort lol

Any M&A tax practices out there that will allow remote/mostly remote work in the future? Where?
