What are your guys expectations for the M&A Market in 2025? Will the lay offs continue in the deals department at Big 4 or will they start hiring?

Smart to look for a new job with a “recession” looming? Wanted to leave by end of the year, but nervous I’d be the first laid off at a new spot

I had a Big4 joke for you but the people who are really good at telling it are being laid off due to “performance” reasons. 🤭

Droga layoffs 7% of staff in US. So much for the Accenture buyout.

Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

How are agencies in Germany doing right now? Any layoffs or pay cuts?

Do you have any tips/advise for someone who was laid off recently and early in their career?

I was just laid off. I feel lost, feeling both pumped up for the future but pained because I was a high performing, straight laced, and by the book team member. Looking for Muslim leaders who are recruiting. Extensive experience in strategy and implementation of Data and RPA technologies. PMP and RPA developer certified. SQL, R, Python, UiPath, Agile, waterfall.

Anyone else just waiting for impending layoffs or are we at the end of the recent wave?

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

How is it that every company complains they can’t find workers yet 9/10 posts on linked in the last few weeks are all about layoffs? And just taking a look at the jobs in your are…why does every job suck and want to pay you 45k?

Layoffs at Ogilvy NYC...

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Is there a single collection of which agencies are hiring right now, which are laying off, furloughing, etc?

Dad got laid off. Drinking got worse. Attempted assault on sis and mom. Had to put up in hotel. No clue on next steps (legal and personal). Project is complete shit show and SM is not getting it. Idk man...

Hi all - I’m the head of the project management department at my agency. I’ve been here almost two years and want to move from my cube to a vacant office but need to convince my superiors. Any advice?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Anybody have any reccomended templates / resources to point to for M&A target screening?

Just curious what kind of projects/work do you guys mostly do at your firm?

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

Rookie question: Can you get ahold of financial information for Canadian and US private companies for light DD/early screening?
