Poor attitude, not being a team player, not listening to advice from fellow FYs, seniors, or managers. I saw one get fired just recently. But all firms believe they should give all FY a chance unless the situation is that bad which I guess it was

I've never seen one get fired. If it's really bad, they usually quit.

I'm in a small group with about 15 campus hires every year. Two people got fired/coached out right after the first year. An experienced hire who came in as a first year got fired within 6 months. But they all knew it was coming.

Sorry I guess I didn't answer the question - it was mostly performance issues plus something else. Usually as associates you don't get fired for just performance. They let you stay and coach you or put you on a different type of project. The people I've seen usually have low performance and some other problem, like refuse to work more than 8 hours a day, or offend the client contacts etc.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up?

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
