What's the deal with all these layoffs in big 4? Is this common? (Coming from a non big 4 guy, considering moving to big 4, but not all that excited after seeing the layoffs)

They don't typically fire people who don't deserve it (hiring failure, stupid, lazy, etc). Wouldn't worry too much about it if you aren't one of those.

Don't think this is actually a thing here in NYC
