I think I’m going to be fired tomorrow morning and I am not even sad about it.

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

I’m 1 year post-MBA and was just let go despite top performance results—firm is not acknowledging COVID layoffs, though. Given 5+ YOE w/background in tech sales could BizOps be a fit? TIA!

Recently got a raise (putting me at 68k). Turned down an offer for 75k to stick it out and company said they can’t match. Management sup was laid off. Account director just quit. Need more $$. ADVICE?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Should I be alarmed that I haven’t had a conversation with my director in a week +? (Any tips for coming to terms with being laid off for the first time?)

A friend was told their firm will cut ties EOY if certain things don’t improve. Friend had planned to quit in the next year anyway (to start their own business), so there is no real incentive to bend over backwards. Friend’s goal is to keep the income for a little longer, but to minimize conflict / headaches. What’s the best move here? Wait until EOY and take the severance? Give 6 / 9 / 12 months’ notice now? Is there such a thing as too much notice? Could too much notice backfire?

Is severance taxed higher? I got 1 month of pay but seemed to be taxed much higher

With a recession around the corner - two questions:
1) will there be layoffs at Deloitte? My concern is we hired so much ppl this year.
2) will there be more work in org design? Just saw the Robinhood 9% workforce layoff announcement.

Anyone hiring a UX Designer in Atlanta? I know someone who got laid off

Is the layoff spree ended in PS? No new scapegoat opening up in last two days. Anyone affected in recent couple of days? Please speak up to make the public aware.

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

Serious Q: i keep hearing that the pipeline hasn’t materially changed and that there is a ~5% difference right now. We also laid off people. Partners are taking a pay cut. What are the economics of not giving anyone a raise? Is it basically as a hedge against future earnings?

I can't help but notice that the most touted exit opps mentioned here are all 'G&A' positions - S&O, CorpDev, Strat, etc. Aren't these positions the first in line to go come layoff time? Prod Management seems like it would be more insulated from layoff pressure (so long as your P&L is in the black) though even that could come under budgetary pressure.

What would be an example of 'layoff-proof' exit opp?

Curious questions! What are the things offered by companies after laying off their employees? Do they pay 3 months severance? Or not?

are there any boutique consulting firms in Dubai? I work in ICON, a CRO similar to IQVIA. ICON doesn't have office in Dubai but I know IQVIA has.. I am looking at other options - what other life science or health care oriented consulting firms are there in Dubai?

Has anyone transferred or moved from a US agency to a Toronto-based one? Asking for a self 😬

Thinking of switching from freelance to full-time. What a good salary range - ACD/NYC 20yrs pharma?

Does S+O do any work in the digital marketing/strategy space? What would be the specific group?

Looking to finally go get my SPHR having the PHR for the past 6 years. Still value and pursuing and obtaining?

I am struggling to spend the time to study for the PHR. I have everything I need, but I feel exhausted from the work week every weekend. I’m looking to take it in August.. help? What do I do?

Backpack recommendation? Got a free one when I joined but it’s kind of clunky/bulky. Anyone buy an Incase backpack?

I can’t help but feel stuck in my career. I’m a licensed attorney in another country, but been working as a law clerk in a firm for about a year now. I was hoping to take the NY bar in February but the foreign law graduate restrictions won’t allow. Now, I have to wait till July! I can’t help but feel this way, and as much as I love my company, I’m beginning to dislike the role. Maybe it’s an ‘ego’ thing? Anyone ever been in this position? How did you get over it?

Let's talk about Stranger Things S5 predictions!!! I think one of the main characters will get killed off. My bet is on Eleven but that may be too obvious. Wbu?

It seems as though entry level/junior roles in the industry are slowly disappearing. How can young people who haven’t managed to get their foot in the door yet actually start? For not so recent grads.

I’m studying for the SHRM-CP with the Mometrix (study guides, online course, and flash cards), however I’m super overwhelmed with all of the information. What are some best practices to ensure I grasp all of the concept ? Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

What percentage of your income do you save, invest and spend?

Anyone willing to share what WLB looks like at some of the large CROs?

ARG vs MEX

If you're looking to make a 4 day weekend, is it better to take friday and monday off or monday and tuesday?

Hi,

I’m approaching YE compensation discussions and was curious to see what folks/the industry are paying for institutional middle-market sales/distribution/business-development roles. I have 3yrs of experience with the same firm and am currently working as a sales analyst for the institutional sales team in NA. I have experience with traditional long only solutions, real estate (primarily value add funds), and a sector specific hedge fund. Any and all feedback is welcome!

I have about $60k sitting in a savings account that I need to invest. I already max out my Roth IRA, Roth 401K, and HSA every year. I’ve been nervous to invest it because I can’t decide if I should stick to ETFs or invest in something more risky. Any suggestions on potentially good investments?
