Last time when that happened in 2008, it took years for whole world to recover from it. Everyone especially middle class was pushed into poverty so yeah, you said it. But it is sad to see this level of ignorance from a “consultant “

Wall Streeters and management consultants don’t provide anything useful. It’s the technical consultants who actually do

May be the only thing that actually results is a trickle down effect. Decimate Wall Street and you feel it soon after.

Something tells me a lot of people here don’t really know what investment bankers do

funny

Care to elaborate?

You mean investment bankers, financial consultants?

I mean that happened in most recessions.

I don’t know what “deserve” has got to do with it. Investment banking will lay off people without thinking much if they underperform. Most industries do that.

Must be single. Just sayin.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
