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?
