Do you mean to say that you were on track at MY because that makes sense. Nobody gets promoted at MY or feb. everyone gets promoted at the same time. I was a January hire as well and cross checked with my teammates.

@op - sorry to hear that. Also not sure what acn1 is saying - but Accenture strategy has a hiring freeze till end of summer - and as go forward strategy unlikely to hire analysts and consultants as experienced hires

Settle down ... all firms do the layoffs. You are aware now because of an app like fishbowl. All this used to happen before and we just chalked it upto 'they must have performed badly or they weren't happy here'. We will still recruit like we have done in the past.

Need some advise. I am fairly young/junior in the industry and was included in COVID layoffs. While searching for new positions I worry about moving to a less prestigious agency and stunting my career or not being able to find work at all. I am leveraging connections that I can but am feeling really overwhelmed with this transition. Any tips?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

Anyone know if all the layoffs have been completed/announced yet? Honestly, I love my job and there's nowhere else I'd rather work. Want to know if I can exhale yet.
