Layoffs at Edelman. 7% of workforce. VP +under.
Watch out for random performance complaints and managers downright ghosting you. Pushed by all-white male leadership.
They're targeting juniors/mid-level,. Data shows they're targeting BIPOC.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

How common are layoffs in big law?

Is the hiring slowdown over? I contacted a few firms to inquire about lateral opportunities in late June/early July and was asked to check back in the fall due to hiring freezes. I wonder if I should reach back out or if it's too soon. The news about Skadden's staff layoffs this morning makes me think it's too soon.

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

what are the chances of getting fired at tcs for someone as lateral at 25l ctc associate consultant?

Hi fishes!
I am looking for a full-remote position, possibly part-time as a contractor with a pay of at least 50$/hr. I'm a good performer so I know I could also ask more (according to US salaries).

Any ideas? I am in the final phase of different positions on Crossover, but I've heard it's really hard to stay there without overworking and get laid off in a matter of months.

Londoners, any layoffs/moves?

Anyone worried about layoffs?

Question, if your work told you you had to sleep with your boss or be fired would you comply?

How many billable hours do you aim for per month? Thinking of lateraling to a firm with no official hours target and wondering what I should be aiming for - is 170/mo (2000 per year) acceptable? Don’t want to burn out but also don’t want to get fired lol. I also understand there’s little control over how much I’ll work but just wondering what y’all think is good enough.

Anyone know the severance package for two years at Acc and as a SA? Do we get our pto cashed out?

Just a warning about all those postings for open roles at VMLY&R. They just laid a bunch of people off. Not sure why they're trying to hire, but I'd think twice before applying. Things aren't good here...

I feel like I work at 50% capacity and yet I’m getting pats on the back for my work. Maybe agency life prepared me well for the brand side?

Anyone Joining HCL today?

Joining this Monday and I just learnt that I have to be in a different city to attend a 2 hour family thing on a Thursday in a couple weeks. I can still work from there except for those couple hours. How flexible do you think my team is going to be about this given I just joined? When and who should I notify about this? I am joining Deloitte from a very small boutique where such things were handled informally.

I have one doubt. What will be the interview process if I am a experienced professionals in middleware integration technology (mulesoft - low code platform)? Will they ask DSA ques in interview for Amazon or it will be technology based interview?

Hi, does anyone have any perspectives on CX&I (Customer Experience & Innovation) team at Publicis Sapient, please? Seems like they are about to reboot it with new leadership. Any insights on why it struggled, and how it is perceived by clients? Many thanks

Who is going to Rising in person this year? I was just looking at the site and it appears attendance is already at capacity so you need a code from your CSM to register. Can we all admit we've been pent up too long and this is going to be a wild one?!?! 😜

Do you guys ever feel like you're 'too Asian' in the workplace but 'not Asian enough' when it comes to family/friends? My morals are rooted in Asian traditions, but can't speak my native language well

If an insurer wrongly denies coverage for a property loss and business interruption claim, can the insurer still rely on the policy provisions to limit the type and extent of the recoverable damages?

Anyone here working at GTI Energy ?

I’m currently considering taking a role as a Strategist at Edelman London, this would technically be a small step down for me professionally but would give me exposure to a larger company and a different type of strategy and process that I am keen to learn.

What is it like at Edelman in the London office? How is the progression generally? Anyone with experience, would you recommend it there?
