TICE layoffs @ PwC. They will cut 20% of advisory this year, and there's one more "wave" coming. First wave was FS in February, second was last/this month, next one is soon (idk when)

LA is struggling in general, axed pretty much half of their FS staff or forced them to move to SF/NY since the turn of 2016. If you have looked at FS Open Needs recently there is nothing won in LA. That's what happens when you only have one partner for an entire region ๐Ÿ™„

Also... Layoff waves so far:
1) 10-15% FS in February (number ranges depending on who you ask) due to mini-stock market freakout and consistently missed goals, in addition to the over hiring. Mostly based on future profitability, combination of people who have been on bench too long and people rolling off projects.
2) 15% across advisory this entire month... Apparently still going on. Chosen based on CRT (lowest rated people cut) as well as high rated people who were being paid too much, and again, future profitability. Lots of FS hit per usual.
3) Heavily rumored: Another round before bonus payouts in October. Given recent economic drama as well as an influx of new hires and a typically slow pipeline as companies run out of consulting budget, I expect this layoff to be huge and firm-wide. Unless of course, everyone pissed about the cohorts/bonuses leaves. Which is like, everybody.
4) Predicted: one more layoff before the holidays or early next year due to a slow pipeline that's even slower in Q4 (prediction based on pipeline strength in previous years). Will probably be mostly FS since it seems like leadership is living in a fantasyland ๐Ÿ™„

5s are exited for sure. 4s on a case by case basis. If the practice has also seen little activity over the year or has anemic forecasted growth potential, look out.

For what it is worth, I have had multiple partners (before and during CRT's) tell me directly that all of advisory did not come even close to its numbers this year.

So FS in Feb, now TICE, what's next? Are they doing waves by industry or is it all over the board?

Not even that when they're laying off campus hires who made way less than the new ones will make. A lot of it is for recruiting relationships. Even though they will be damaged with layoff news, no top school is going to tell PwC they can't recruit there unless they go on a hiring freeze or reneg offers

Yeah one of my friends was on an internal project that had access to the firm's financials. Told me there is no way PwC can survive another year or two like this one. And I mean, even if you look at all the Open Needs lists... The same projects have been "in pursuit" for literally the past year. Not good.

Iโ€™ve got a really good job. Wasnโ€™t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they arenโ€™t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Lots of talk about inflation, layoffs, hiring freezes, pay cuts, and stressful job shifts lately. Does anyone have any advice or encouragement to share for those who have been impacted or fear that they will be soon?

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

Does your firm find out why you failed a clearance ? Asking bc I got fired from my first job out of college a couple years ago and didnโ€™t report it on it company background check. Iโ€™m afraid if I fail my public trust, my current firm will find out and fire me for not reporting it on my prior employers.
