That’s interesting because a recruiter contacted me today about joining KPMG advisory 🤔

It was only certain groups under Risk Consulting so maybe it’s a different group. Risk Strategy and Compliance is under a hiring freeze right now

Eh, not that big of a deal. Businesses ebb and flow. When we drop an audit client, we gain a tax client because someone drops off the restricted entity list. Last year it was PwC doing RIFs, this year KPMG. Deloitte does the same thing as PwC and KPMG, strategically releasing fewer than 50 workers are at a single site so they don’t have to provide notice under the WARN act. You just don’t hear about it because it represents a smaller % of the workforce, but it’s done more frequently. Probably more layoffs at Deloitte in absolute numbers. Business is still good for the firm, and still good for advisory, just getting more lean.

Specifically in RC, the pyramid was not distributed correctly so there were too many people doing the level of work below them. (i.e. managers acting as seniors) and so they thinned the pyramid out.

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

Please help me out here.... Your input will be really great.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Thanks.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️

I was a month in as Workday HCM Consultant with Accenture. They immediately throw me into the HCM courses to obtain my WD HCM certification. There are three parts HCM Essentials, HCM Applied, and HCM Practical. The passing score is 70 or above. I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
