New talent cheap. Opportunities to get rid of low performers

likesmart

Some service areas are cold (deals, consulting). While other areas are not (audits and tax returns still have to get done). And people’s skills are not always immediately transferable (and consultants may not want to pivot and be auditors).

I got the option to transfer service lines

Bunch of reasons. Some service lines are doing better than others, and firms would rather fire than pay to retrain staff. Also some recent experienced hires or people who have long tenures are too expensive, so they'd rather bring in cheaper labor.

Business 101. It’s happened in every recession/depression since the industrial revolution. Use the economy as an excuse to get rid of the bottom 10% of performers and call it “restructuring”. Then bring in their replacements at a cheaper rate with more potential.

Hi all! Received an offer today for London - the position is L5

Y2: 16K

RSU: 500 shares (Y1: 25 Shares, Y2: 75 Shares, Y3: 200, Y4: 200)

Hello all,

I am currently in the process for interviewing for a role at 
Amazon for their office in Basildon in corporate (HR if it wasn't implied by my title). Spoke to the recruiter and on my application it will be £55k base but wondered what level is that and what leeway I have for bonus (sign on) and what is the RSU looking like. I am also needing some help if possible please on the interview process as I would really like to get this since it is my dream job.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

Hello Fishes,
My brother is a b.com graduate(2020 passed out) and looking for a job.
The problem here is because Finance jobs requires exceptional skills and academics due to which he is not able to get shortlisted for most job interview screening, he is receiving interview calls from great companies but not able to convert them.
If anybody can help even with an Internship position at their firm that would be a great starter to his career.

PS: leave a like so that I can send Dms across✌
