Not sure it will be materially different from last year - anecdotally job market feels stronger this year - the big tech layoffs not withstanding

I think the Firms are not ready for this year. 😊

Believe most firms did a decent number last year (likely RIFs as well as performance). My sense is all of those firms won’t have a lot given the consulting market has somewhat stabilized. That being said, I bet there will be more performance separations every year going forward. Realizing everyone needs better hygiene with this process

Hopefully not amongst our group here on Fishbowl!

You hiring?

I am sure we are - but more seeing our people getting pulled more / getting traction in their recruiting

Let’s be real AI can already do 50 percent of what we all do….sure there might be a short term boost from the AI transformation projects, but what comes after that…

I will be building my team this year. My core team is already booked out into Q3. And we are not slowing down in pursuits and new work.

Recently got an offer from KPMG. But the offer letter is in their portal with no KPMG letterhead or signatures. Next thing is there is no joining details like reporting office or whom should I report to on joining date. I have tried to contact HR via mail/ call. No response. What to do? Has anyone joined KPMG recently? How do they communicate the joining details? Please tell me
