Seeing a lot of posts regarding layoffs/recession. Curious to know if smaller big4 offices are more likely to layoff staff vs bigger offices?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Hi Fishes

Please advice
I am currently working in TCS (11LPA 10 years Exp)

I have 2 offers in hand. TechM with 19LPA & DXC with 25 LPA (23L + 2L Variable)

DXC hired me for Indian client .My job profile on system admin. Work will be on Legacy Technology. Do I get chance to upgrade to cloud and shift to different Client

Most of the review on DXC is negative. How will be job security and work life balance. In most review I see "termination & layoffs." How is current situation in 2022
Thanks!

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

Didn't have top grades, wasn't on law review. Worked at a midsize firm and was laid off in march-- have about 3 years experience in a hot practice area. Have been applying and had some interviews at larger shops but nothing has come of it. I'm still applying to roles (not many out there) in my area but coming to the realization based on number of larger firm rejection letter that I may not find a role. Where would you go from here if you were me? Was making good money at the midsize...

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Is it normal to negotiate for a bigger severance package if it happens within the first year? Because Meta may have something for me but TBH I'm nervous about their hiring freeze news.

Is it true that EY is mulling over layoffs as client projects are reducing..?

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

Should I negotiate a severance package even though it’s not in my contract and it’s not required by UK law?

Hi Team, I was part of the layoff at Elastic last week. Our whole midmarket AE department was eliminated.
Does someone hire for a midmarket/commercial AE position in The Netherlands?
I am a native German speaker. Of course I already applied via LinkedIn, but I urgently need a new job in January.
Thanks everyone!

Hi, I’m currently looking for a job as I was laid off during COVID. If anyone is hiring, please let me know!

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I was informed today that my employment would be terminated at a tier-2 consulting firm in Toronto. The reasons for my dismissal are unclear and I would like to get legal advice on the termination agreement and severance package that was offered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can refer a good employment lawyer?

Any news on layoffs/recession in banking industry?

Any boulder (rock climbing) gyms you can recommend?

You ever get so sick of prepping for a walk through you just say fuck it and wing it? I mean really, the pressure should be on the client to talk about the process, not on us 🙀

Are any firms hiring for fdd with just audit experience? Third year audit manager here. I’d be willing to come in as a senior if needed.

What’s the practical different between Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel?

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Can someone provide a referral at Honeywell? Would be a great help!

Just applied for a KPMG M&A Senior Consultant position. Connections and recruiter made it pretty clear I’d be coming in for an interview. Currently at IBM GBS. Previous M&A exp + consulting exp

Saw a JD Melberg and got me thinking. Surprised insurance companies don't get scrutinized more. Seems w the number of complaints on VA's, there would be more regulation over this type of thing

I’m trying “whole 30” for a week.. just to try it out. I’m on my first day, and I already feel sugar withdrawals symptoms. Any recommendations on how to deal with that and stay motivated?

How long does it take in Accenture to send offer letter once salary discussion is done???

I submitted documents to HR after getting interviewed recently. How many days do VOIS take for releasing offer letter?

Managers and above — if you could go back to being a staff/senior, what would you have done differently?

What to pursue next? CMA, CA, CFA or any other licenses?Have been working in big4 for more than two years now. Passed CPA. Hesitant to take CFA as it's a 3 yr commitment and not quite related to CPA.

Counselor never talked to me about my year end review and it was never released to me, I still haven't had my comp discussion. Didn't get the comp email or any PPB in my paycheck, am I getting fired??

I accidentally lowballed my desired salary for senior level. I’m quite sure I’ll be receiving an offer letter. Any tactics for negotiating a higher salary?

Buyout lease or buy new? Leased a 2014 Camry for 2 yrs. Has 20k miles on it, would be $15k to buy 4.99%, dealer says worth $13k. 2017 Camry: lease-$162/mth w/2500 down or buy $320/mth w/4000 down, 0%

Apple Watch or Fitbit? Does anyone have both? If you have both, do you use the Apple Watch as a regular watch and the Fitbit for working out? Just curious to see what people think. Thanks!

Anyone have an idea of how long it takes for the background check to clear at KPMG? Also, do they send you an email or something to let you know it’s done?

Taking a mandatory "Audit Quality and Our Tax Provision Work" when I don't do any tax provision work. Nice waste of my time KPMG. Idiots.

Any advice on keeping my marriage healthy during busy season? Seems like this time of year is hard both at work and at home.

How often do you guys visit strip clubs?

Does EY pay for the CFE exam and Review course?

I’ve been in public accounting for about 6 years and I feel like I need a certification. The CPA is not happening. What would be the most valuable CIA , CFE , CMA of CISA?

How do i see my utilization?

Do a lot of seniors in the advisory groups work weekends? I am coming from a group that has busy seasons sometimes we don't get a day off for a few weeks before the deadline. 80-100 hour weeks for me.

Yo EY, how bad will they really ding you in reviews for submitting a few timesheets a day late throughout the year
