These numbers are insane. 48,000 at UPS. 14,000 at Amazon. It’s so frequent that I forgot 15,000 by Microsoft.

Banks like JP Morgan and Goldman have said that they plan to keep their headcount flat in near future.

This becomes a circular firing squad pretty quickly. Less jobs means less demand means less jobs. All while a couple of billionaires who amassed computing power and trained their models to scrape and steal the sum total of human thought then profit from it.

Doesn't take a genius to figure out why they're all building island bunkers!

But UPS stock was seemingly performing poorly. It fell back to pre-pandemic level.

Amazon was another story as it seems to be doing well.

SC1 The UPS was mostly Operations, not Admin, and that is a BIG difference. I get that their industry/business is changing a lot but….

UPS lost a lot of revenue with Amazon moving deliveries in-house and tariffs, along with the end of de minimis.

Like all disruptions it will create far more than what it takes this is normal disruption

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Hi all-
I was going to be preparing myself for an interview for a T2 firm. I have about 7 months to prepare for the interview but am overwhelmed by a lot of conflicting advice on how to prepare. I am generally not the best interviewer but am confident of being a good fit for consulting.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.
