Just doing this for information to anyone who was worried like I was. Pay out up to the day you worked and pto immediately. 2 weeks severance comes on next pay period. Health benefits end at month end (sucks that there are 3 days left in June). All 5s are gone, most 4s are gone with a few exceptions. I was promoted last year to Senior, but left a major project with some burned bridges after begging to leave 8 months of travel every week and PMO slide updates. My thought is that if I stayed it would be different, but I'm glad I left because otherwise life would've been more miserable than it somehow is now. Good luck to everyone on this train. I never regretted my time with this firm, it is truly a great experience despite the way it had to end.

Yes, it was a mix of things. My burned bridge project definitely impacted my ability to get staffed on the *few* engagements my group did win. I can't say that my performance was stellar because there wasn't anything to properly work on, but of course there is a chance I could've somehow been more impactful - all of my snapshots, which covered >80% of my hours, were at or partially at next level (except for the aforementioned project). Perhaps I'm putting a lot of weight on my promotion last year, which to me signaled that my performance wasn't the main driver.

Did you just have CRT today? My RP still hasn't scheduled mine

Where will you be looking? Industry? Another firm? All the best.

My PTO and pay up to today is deposited in the ADP card the firm gave me (though it has not yet been activated, as HR let me know it might take a day to do).

Define "low" utilization.

I don't think utilization is the main driver of these layoffs. Would put more emphasis on annual performance rating and impact to firm. It's a down year, people across the board have low utilizations

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
