Sorry to hear that OP. I suspected KPMG was posting fake jobs recently to mine resumes. Not sure if this reflects the general health of their consulting practice.

Confirmed today.

Sorry to hear, y’all. How big does it look?

Why? Where?

4% of KPMG's entire Advisory service line.

Attrition is usually 20% in consulting, so if fewer are leaving in a tough employment market then the involuntary element has to balance it. 4% is astonishingly low.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
