Layoff news from Deloitte! Is there a pattern?

Is it true that this time of year is the worst time to apply/ try to get jobs? Looking to pivot out of a contract I got after being laid off in August by 2023.

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Hi Team, I was part of the layoff at Elastic last week. Our whole midmarket AE department was eliminated.
Does someone hire for a midmarket/commercial AE position in The Netherlands?
I am a native German speaker. Of course I already applied via LinkedIn, but I urgently need a new job in January.
Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone, I will be highly obliged if someone can share the interview questions for data scientist/decision consultant role in fractal

In two interviews the interviewer asks me about one topic which I know theoretically and some practical. I directly said to the interviewer that I am not an expert in that, but if I get my hands on it then I can learn in one day.

After asking two questions again he came on the same topic this happens twice in two interviews. Mere ko lag raha hey Jaan bujhke questions same topic pe puchte hey, so that they don't select that candidate.

Working @ RGA100+ hour weeks without knowing if or what the $ will be. How is this legal?

“your weekly rate covers your salary for the full week. Our general work schedule at R/GA is Monday through Friday, however, all salaried freelancers are eligible for a discretionary bonus which factors in extraordinary time you bill to jobs outside of our general work schedule as well as your overall performance. This discretionary bonus would be paid out on a monthly basis and is not guaranteed.”

How to politely tell my partner stop spending too much time on playing video games? It was my false at first. I introduced Zelda breathe of the wild to her and now, she is hooked. She even played game when we had the movie night. I chose the her movie style but she let me to watch it alone and silently turned on the game, and played it while pretended to watch the movie with me. That’s not fun at all. What should I do? Any advice please?

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff.
