It has nothing to do with firm performance, and not particular to S&. 10-15% forced attrition is pretty standard no matter the health of the business. It's how they make room for new hires. Last year was obviously much worse. Always going to be some folks that get let go post-CRT. Welcome to the machine.

Really sorry about that bud. Reach out to your network and see who can help; it's a lot faster than applying online. And take a week off before you join the new job. Good luck

Network network network. Double check the terms of your visa, when I was on a tn visa I had 10 days to leave the country and was t allowed to look for another job in the US if I was laid off. It was fine to look as long as I was employed but laid off and looking was a no no.

S& is having layoffs?

Check with your past clients for open roles

Ha , they said it was a good year and bonuses are very high this year at least in FS

FC1, last year the layoffs were pretty much across the board. This year they're targeted at low performing groups with an excess of staff

And that how they can afford paying good bonuses to the "lucky ones" that stay ...

Definitely network and get some legal advice as well. You'll likely need to solidify an offer soon and get the visa application submitted... the legal advice can Perhaps help you figure out your options / where you need to be during the processing, etc. good luck OP

Where is home?

Well, I’m out of advertising. After getting laid off on April 30th I held out in hopes I’d find something “cool” and be able to continue dressing like a clown for work (I’m heavily tattooed and have my septum pierced). I took a job as an EA in real estate investment banking and while I do feel relieved to not have to keep up the “cool” agency culture, I’m a little nervous to return to buttoned up corporate America. I know I’m good at my job, but unemployment Swiss cheese brain is real!

Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.
Can we directly apply for EU blue card from India if there is a job offer? Anyone got visa sponsorship directly from German employer?

It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!!

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I. Emirates business class both ways for 2 people, 290k pts total or 145k each way for 2 tickets. Plus another 30k to get us round trip domestic connecting flights bringing the total to 320 points. This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?

Today I received letter of intent from American express with compensation details. I thought amex had a standard practice of giving joining bonus but in my compensation breakdown it’s not mentioned. Would it be mentioned separately in offer letter or what?
