When you're laid off, you aren't necessarily in the frame of mind to go through endless posts on fishbowl to find the relevant one. If you didn't want to answer his question, you could have passed on it. No need to show up on the thread just to put OP down ! Move along !

Assuming part of the reason you were laid off is you're too lazy to search for information. This question is asked daily.

Where are you looking geographically?

What functional area

SAP

@pwc1 there isn't a search option. @op the higher up you were the easier I think it will be to go to another big 4, just speaking from what I've observed with friends/colleagues

No worries guys, I'm not in a frame of mind to care about negative posts. I just want information from anyone who can help. I'm a staff 2, really complicated story about why I felt this happened but have my prior engagement partners backing me as reference. Already applied to Deloitte and PwC. Can u guys please advice whether I should be honest about the lay off or cook up a cock and bull story about why I supposedly left the firm because I wanted to relocate. I would appreciate any advice, thank you

You tell the sorry that fits bests. You say nothing but positive things about EY in your interviews. As for why you left it was due to downsizing in your group!

Happy to help if you need a referral OP but sounds like you've already applied. Good luck!

Thanks D1 really appreciate that. Applied with referral for a position that matches me 100%. Do you feel Deloitte would consider me given it's a direct match or am I damaged goods?

I think all firms value knowledge and a person with good consulting skills. If you possess both, which you most likely do since you spent time at EY, you'll be fine. Moreover, our SAP practice needs folks right now. Keep us posted :)

@ OP I thought our sap practice was doing well? Are we downsizing?

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
