I've been on here all day and I'd like someone other than PwC and Accenture to confirm these rumors. Also to pwc2, you must be a new hire. Your firm made it rain pink slips at the beginning of the year. So did Deloitte.

Only EY. The other firms generally hire for keeps, unless you feel like leaving.

PwC and Deloitte did it worse. PwC layoffs had a huge round feb, another June/July, and are still happening on a continuous basis. Bottom line is we don't need to be hiring 600 kids from campus each year but that would royally screw campus relations so the cycle continues. Also that clients are not willing to pay S& rates and some verticals are having a hard time closing deals as client funding dries up

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

Has anyone taken part of the education reimbursement program? I’ve been here for 4 years and I’m thinking of obtaining my Master’s in Organizational Leadership, but I feel like with this merger, if I started the program and then there are layoffs or too many new hires, or work just becomes overwhelming, I wouldn’t be able to complete my program. I’m already wearing multiple hats when it comes to work. Does anyone have insight on how it works/what it’s like? Thanks in advance!

If a job posting specifies certain education requirements that you don't have, is it still worth applying or will you be automatically skipped over? I truly believe I have the experience to make the degree irrelevant, but if the system will just skip over me, I don't want to waste my time on these.
