UBS Summer Associates fired - anyone know what happened?

For people going through layoffs right now. It's really hard. But pro tip: sit down and write your obituary assuming you live to be 100. Helps so much to really see this is nothing but a blip. ❤️

What's the projection and outlook for state and local gov consulting? I'm at a small but somewhat well known firm in this space, but our leadership hasn't shared much on the outlook, given the economic slow down and layoffs

Who here has been laid off? How did you bounce back?

Anyone else hear that post-CRT partners will get fired this year in commercial advisory? How the hell does a partner get fired....

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

If you are laid off for hours, what is a neural reason for saying that your employment ended? Especially if there is a month or two break in finding employment.

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

Anyone expecting layoffs due to COVID-19? There’s an indefinite hiring freeze and most promotions and have been paused. 👀

Stuck in a weird limbo where I want to leave my job more than anything but grateful that I have one at all with all the layoffs in our industry. It's a new kind of trapped. Anyone else feels the same?

Hi Fishes, I've 5.7 YOE in digital marketing and i have an offer from PS for Senior Media Analyst Role in Digital Marketing Domain. After seeing all the layoff post i'm getting scared. It would be helpful if you could please let me know if anyone if fired from Digital Marketing Domain.

DOJ is Oct 31st, i dont have more time. Please comment if you know anyone from Digital Marketing.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Should I negotiate a severance package even though it’s not in my contract and it’s not required by UK law?

I am constantly terrified I am going to be fired. This anxiety is taking a toll on others and I want to see if anyone else thinks this way. Trying to calm down

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. 😞

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

- Upper mgmt is starting to identify me as the backup for all systems. My manager tries to move me out since then

Can anyone recommend any resources/certifications for financial modelling?

I’m a financial advisor (Series 7 and 66) and I really wish I would have become an accountant or investment banker.

Are there any exit strategies for a successful young 26 y/o advisor to move to investment banking or a salaried advisor job?
