If so, you should be selling. I’m tired of Managers and Directors who can’t lead and Directors who do not sell. We promote people who do their current job right rather than look for the people who have leadership and sales(wo)manship qualities.

I was here to see if any referral is possible but it seems everyone here is out to judge my performance and also to find out how and why it happened and if there was any warning signs. Also, I feel some of you here is also trying to sniff around and see if I am hiding something. This post is turning into something that I am not mentally prepared for as I have to conc on job search and see if anyone is willing to transfer visa in short notice. So, a request to all of you - if you don't have any referral please move on and try not to ask same questions over and over again in a different manner.

Does anyone know pwc is doing a big laid off? Or this is a one off case?

This happened to me two years ago when I was on a sponsored visa in the US - I had been receiving good feedback and above level snapshots, then got laid off without warning while I was on a project (and without care for my visa situation). I had taken a leave of absence from another county so I returned to that job. Not helpful if you want to stay in the US - unfortunately their weren’t any other visa options for me to try to find another job - but I understand what you’re going through. Really horrible.

SA1: can't say here. It will give me out. Practice is really really small.

A couple of years back PwC started laying off small groups of people over a period of time not to call public attention to the layoffs. The cumulative number was fairly significant. They were also making significant changes with internal support services to streamline and reduce people. At the time it was in line with an economic downturn, could be the same or the line of service is not profitable.

P7: I really don't care. Made some good friends in the practice who I think will be colleagues for life. It's just the management who I don't want to draw attention as I don't wanna burn bridges even if I have been laid off.
