So sorry OP. You will find something amazing! That is brutal though, and I wonder has PWC thought about the taste that leaves for remaining employees. From what I know, ACN was giving 4 weeks on the beach about a month or so ago, and emailing you at the end of week two telling you that you had 2 weeks to find a role. So they were giving a heads up. I think the bench time is now up to 8 weeks for certain Operating groups (FS, Resources, etc.). We are also hiring if your still interested in consulting. I have also heard that since we are public and have shareholders to answer to, that's the only way for the firm to handle layoffs w/o too much backlash. Idk how true that is though.

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

Hi Ladies,

I was impacted by the COVID-19 layoffs a few weeks ago and let go from my job at Deloitte. I have 2 years experience as an IT Auditor with the big 4 and I am in search of a new job. I’m currently residing in Atlanta

Any recommendations on where to apply would be greatly appreciated.

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.

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.
