What would a big four restructure look like?

Looking to make the leap to the big 4, but with restructure talks, feeling iffy. Biggest concern is layoffs…

Deloitte EY PwC KPMG

Does anyone have any insights about the layoff rumors at Morgan Stanley?

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 do you recommend dealing with a partner senior to you trying to do anything possible to push you out, force you to quit, or get you fired for years? Owner knows my abilities and likes me (contd)

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

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. 😞

How realistic is it to get a remote paralegal position with less than a year experience? I was just laid off from a small firm and loved the remote work environment…

exit opportunities for someone who got a good gpa from a well known school and a cpa who thought they would be doing something cool while building a foundation for a fruitful career but got stuck on state/federal claims and related government work instead? or is a full restart needed?

S1 at B4 now but looking to do something more traditional (?) that will provide opportunity in finance/accounting and not something ‘risk’ oriented that will pigeonhole me.

Horrible anxiety about considering a new job....
I was one of the big firm stealth layoffs in covid and joined a boutique firm in Sept. They came sort of close to matching my salary but I moved to SoCal and have an opportunity to jump back in to big law and get $100k raise. The people at the small firm are so nice, but hours are nuts and if I’m going to work this much, I might as well get paid more, right? Is it too soon? How do you tell them when the managing partner took you under his wing?

How much do partners at big 4 make on average? How bout MBB?

Need some insight: if you’re about to leave for a competing firm, should you give 2 weeks notice (and risk being fired/escorted off the premise) or simply quit without giving notice?

Got laid off. Have savings to hold me until I find a new position but mostly I'm just embarrassed. Has anyone ever gotten laid off and not told their friends/partner about it? I just don't want people in my circle to know I failed basically.

Anyone in B4 M&A tax left to get a JD? Currently a CPA and considering the jump.

Is it safe to join PWC india at this point of time. Are we expecting any layoffs?

Anyone else with big 4 experience looking to find a rewarding career path with an undergrad degree in accounting? What career options are out there without having to go back to school?

Curious questions! What are the things offered by companies after laying off their employees? Do they pay 3 months severance? Or not?

How would switching to big 4 tech consulting at 2 YOE look for mba applications? Would it hurt? Looking to matriculate 2023 or 2024 but don't want this move to hurt me if I do it.

Should I be alarmed that I haven’t had a conversation with my director in a week +? (Any tips for coming to terms with being laid off for the first time?)

Expected salary for a first year JD Tax Associate (KJD so no legit work experience besides summer internships) at an accounting firm in a large expensive city (NY, LA, SF, Chicago)? Big 4 or BDO/RSM/Baker Tilly etc.

What happens if you don’t join due to better package from other big 4 after excepting the offer

What's the state of the market like in terms of pipeline and opportunities in the GCC? Is most of the work still in KSA?
I am in the Financial Services area and based in the US but did a two year stint in the region with the Big4 a few years back and contemplating a return. Unsure if that would be the right move so trying to get some Intel from folks on the ground. Thank you.

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay.

Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
