Magic formula to not get fired/stay on track as an analyst? I’m always anxious that I’m dropping the ball/not doing enough, would be great to have a baseline

You’d have to do something incredibly stupid to not stay on track

Idk about PWC but 95% of analysts at Deloitte are campus hires; also experienced hire analysts still have a ton of leeway. Have not seen a single analyst counseled out or laid off who wasn’t completely terrible at their job (very few people go off track during those first 2 years).

Just check in with your lead if you've got downtime and do a periodic check in (a couple of times a day, or once a day, or every few days, or whatever interval the lead thinks is good) to make sure you're prioritizing properly/not spinning your wheels/that whatever you're doing is up to acceptable standards.

Do that and you'll be golden. That'll help whether you're making a deck, writing code, creating a dashboard or anything else.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

How is it that every company complains they can’t find workers yet 9/10 posts on linked in the last few weeks are all about layoffs? And just taking a look at the jobs in your are…why does every job suck and want to pay you 45k?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
