Actually I am very new to this forum and I am very grateful how helpful you people are. A little bit background of my case: experienced hire second-year C with previous data analysis and digital marketing skills who was assigned to a not-that-profitable nor stable offering under S&A (may have otherwise ended up in firms like Criteo, Facebook, or hedge funds, etc. if I don’t like consulting). Have to admit that my first-year performance was shitty as 1. I refused to extend on a PMO project and got a super low review; 2. One core project sponsor kicked out of the game and I got dropped so U% is low. However, this year my performance is strong with reviews targeting at promotion (ironic). Utilization at 90%+ now. I need to go back and work on the separation stuff now and wish you guys all the best with your current company

HMU for a referral !!

Appreciate the good will but dude you know all these responding folks want the referral because the get a paid bonus for a tracked hire.
Lay off is a reduction In force job elimination pardon the straight talk again but it seems you got fired due to low rating and a 30 day Performance improvement plan did it work. I dig holding boundaries as to your PMO comment but evaluate whether consulting and it’s asks both personal and professional are for you

I’m to busy to type like you are
so voice recognition isnt the best as you know (or maybe not since you value grammar over content

Happy to refer at PwC. Please DM me if interested.
