Which agencies are going through layoffs

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Are BAs comparatively safer than Dev’s when it comes to layoffs?

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

Any word on layoffs at JPM?

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

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?

Worried about potential recession and layoffs...

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

I’m 1 year post-MBA and was just let go despite top performance results—firm is not acknowledging COVID layoffs, though. Given 5+ YOE w/background in tech sales could BizOps be a fit? TIA!

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

Trump just signed an EO banning any new work visas. As someone on a work visa, I am going through Twitter to find more information and I couldn’t believe the amount of hate I am seeing in this country for legal immigrants. As co-workers, do you guys really think that immigrants are stealing your jobs?

Interviewed for 2 jobs I am highly interested in. One offered the job already, but the other one hasn’t made a decision yet but should this week. I have until tomorrow to accept the offer but would like to work for the other company if the compensation package is better. Any advice? I don’t want to accept and then have to cancel, but there’s no guarantee the other job will hire me either. 😩

My money is on the "Singles in Consulting" bowl having some juicy stories.

Should you always give/serve your 2 weeks notice? In an inside sales role it almost feels pointless - I am checked out, accepted a new offer and need to focusing on moving to a new city, thoughts?

If this drags on until November how the heck are we gonna do an election? At least the campaigning seems to have been put on the backburner

I know Mck is the top for strategy, but in terms of digital/design in top consulting firms which do you think is better? Mckinsey digital or deloitte digital? (Or another..?)

How to deal with being rejected from a consulting job you want?

We've all been there (not just me I hope). It's so frustrating when the consulting one is a tough hill to climb. Has joining a smaller management consulting firm ever worked out for anyone?

I'd like to hope one day I could get into big 4 or even MBB.

Does this sound right? I'm filo g taxes on H&R. I did standard deduction. I worked in 5 states and each state is making me pay roughly 2.5k on standard deductions (one of them being NY )

TFW you look at yourself in the mirror at the hair stylist and realize your face looks like a bag of smashed assholes after too many screen hours, airport hours, and drinks...

Good women’s brands for work jeans?

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?

No promotion for me...time to quit!

Officially on maternity leave for 8 months after today!! I also got the green light for promotion, pretty happy with all things Deloitte right now! 👌🏻👏🏻

Anyone ever give small gifts to clients who are kicking ass? Wondering if it’s worth the hassle of getting PPED approval

I am currently waiting for the job offer for a consulting firm but I was told it could take several months. Between now and then, I have plenty of time for myself.
