So if I'm correct, PwC is the only Big Four that hasn't done a huge round of covid layoffs so far?

Can’t call them layoffs if you refer to them as “performance related separations”

More “performance separations” than ever. Same thing as layoffs, just sugar coated. They just didn’t have the guts to call them what they are like Deloitte and KPMG did if I recall correctly. Former 1s became 4s and 5s and told to go.

I find it really hard to believe someone would go from a 1 to a 4/5 without something happening...

As I tell my staff, good job not getting fired today, but don’t worry, there is always tomorrow.

I haven’t personally heard of any performance based separations post-Covid. So, I’m not sure if they are on the rise in the Southeast market. Maybe post deadlines? We have had a few people quit.

PwC is biggest liars! Claimed no layoffs then had mass “performance based” exits. Now they are exiting out partners. I have seen 4 on LinkedIn this week! A couple before age 55. Why would someone leave before pension eligible? Must be forced - given a deal they couldn’t refuse?

PwC7 why would they let go those who can grow business? Clear sign they see less business to grow! IMHO the last people you let go are those who can generate revenue and sales. Tim got elected on promises to raise partner share price. When you fail to grow revenue (numerator) you have to decrease the number of partners (denominator) to move the share price. Sad thing is this isn’t a Covid alone issue. In 2019 PwC had second lowest revenue growth in top 25 accounting firms. Covid only made bad way worse!

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything. If anyone knows of any PM roles (hardware/software), please let me know. YOE: 2

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
