Lateral in SV here.

Just got the zoom ambush meeting and laid off after being starved of work for weeks.

Sucks to be me.

Firm was very kind about it.

Ogilvy leadership talk alot about transparency. I would love them to put their words into action. Lauren should come out and confirm that she did not get a bonus (the sad truth of the matter is that despite layoffs, revenue and margin declines, it would not surprise me if she did). Sad state of affairs. Happy to stand corrected.

Do you think a possible recession will be a problem for us it consultants and software engineers? The demand is so high currently, I can’t believe that we will get a lot of layoffs or something like this. What do you think?

Anyone else get laid off from Havas Boston yesterday? Who’s hiring??

Read this on Bored Panda: Just Had A Zoom Job Interview, And The Recruiter Asked Me To ‘Show Her Around The Room

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

Is anyone else attending dbt's virtual conference, Coalesce, this week? Do you have any favorite presentations?

Hi Fishes

Please advice
I am currently working in TCS (11LPA 10 years Exp)

I have 2 offers in hand. TechM with 19LPA & DXC with 25 LPA (23L + 2L Variable)

DXC hired me for Indian client .My job profile on system admin. Work will be on Legacy Technology. Do I get chance to upgrade to cloud and shift to different Client

Most of the review on DXC is negative. How will be job security and work life balance. In most review I see "termination & layoffs." How is current situation in 2022
Thanks!

Do you think consulting industry might layoff people due to the coronavirus economy collapse.

Hey fellow brothers and sisters.... would like you send prayers my way.... been laid off since October...applied and have been rejected multiple times.... kinda loosing hope... need a miracle soon

Was anyone on here laid off during the 2008 recession? Can you tell what you did to get your career back on track?

Does anyone here work for Carvana? I’ve had a recruiter reach out about a position several times but know they just went through some layoffs. Have they recovered and are they on a good track or is there still a lot of risk?

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Can someone give some insight into the deloitte layoffs? How big are they layoffs and should I be concerned if I’m interviewing for them?

Hey everyone, Heard this rumour that huge layoffs are going to happen in S&P global india....can anyone give heads up about this ?

S&P Global

Are any ad agencies doing layoffs?
(Hearing a lot about it in tech.)

Does anyone get fired for being behind on work? Meeting the target for hours but work is submitted late. I don’t mean after any litigation deadlines or limitation periods. Work just takes awhile to get done. Or is it just having low hours and the partners eventually stop giving you work?

For H1B jobseekers: my transfer application was approved when filed within 60 days from severance rather than 60 days from termination date. Just my experience, may not work for all. Good luck to everyone job searching in such difficult times.

Hello fellow fishes,
I have been offered the position of Principal consultant in Mindtree. Can anyone help me understand the role expectations, as far as my knowledge PC will be a lead role for the Sr Consultants and will be the poc for business and project management. Anything different in Mindtree?

Also what will be the role hierarchy of PC in Mindtree?

YoE - 11

What are your opinions on going deskless in the classroom?

Has anyone taken FMLA for whatever reason and can share what the expectation is regarding communication with work while you’re out? Is everything just via HR? Do I need to check my work email? Is it breaking some kind of rule if my boss is texting or calling me about work? Google hasn’t been super helpful.

Year 5. Have been thinking about a career change to become a real estate developer. I like my job but don’t love it and have always found real estate stuff extremely interesting. If anyone has any insight in real estate development and if you are a RE attorney who has insight into RE development, I’d love to chat with you and hear about your perspective. Thank you!

My hours have been low this week and I’m going on vacation next week. But I literally have nothing to do today. Should I ask for more work or keep silent….

The grass is not always greener. I left my prior firm that paid market but had a high hours requirement for bonus solely because I didn’t think I would hit it and the new firm guaranteed my bonuses. I loved the firm and the people, and the partners were always available to help. I like the work at my new firm and the people are great, but the partners are never available and I feel like they just tossed me in the ocean and I’m drowning. Midlevel. Anyone else in the same boat?

Firms conducting stealth layoffs will regret it. The “looming recession” already happened in the first half of this year.

The Atlanta Fed Q3 GDPNow forecast is currently +2.5%.

Average gas prices nationwide are now under $4.

CPI Inflation likely peaked in June.

Equities and especially growth stocks have been on a tear over the past few weeks.

Firms who hang onto their associates will prosper. The rest will have to overwork their remaining associates, who will quickly lateral elsewhere.

Based on the responses on the other thread that think $1M is not enough to quit big law, how much do you personally think is enough to quit big law (but not necessarily retire)? No right or wrong answers I suppose but just curious…

How far in advance of taking vacation do you let partners know you’ll be out of office? Is one month before a week long vacation okay?

Looking for recommendations for a virtual therapy sessions to help me manage chronic anxiety related to work and my relationship. It’s been consuming me lately and I believe that I’m opposed to medication. Any other tips on anxiety management/overthinking are appreciated.

I would like to quiet quit. How does one do that in BigLaw?
