What’s the difference between lay off and getting fired? Neither because of misconduct or serious performance issues?

Is current layoffs only happening in Amazon US offices or Amazon India offices as well ?

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

If you were an Uber employee that got laid off, how have you been faring?

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

So no real layoffs?

Thoughts on Veteran status and the ongoing corporate layoffs?

hearing there was massive layoffs at concentric today. in the dozens. can someone confirm or refute?

Is publisis sapient a good company to join.. Coming across a lot of layoff news on LinkedIn. I have an offer from sapient (YOE 4.2). Shall I join ??

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

Would you be interested in a program that allows you to explore yourself and find community when going through major life challenges of being international in America. Like being on OPT 60 days, being laid off on visa and the list goes on..

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

What groups are best at tax valuations (e.g. IP and other asset valuations)?

Is it usually done by tax service lines or advisory service lines?

Has anyone received the Keep in Touch program email from McKinsey? (for reference, I didn’t apply for roles but applied for Early Access)

What do you think would be the best office & sector to work in ?

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

How much of a pay cut are you willing to take to (hopefully) re-find purpose in your job?

My Context: work in tech, company has HQ in the Bay but I live in Canada. Single, no kids, 1 mortgage, no debts.

TC: ~200k USD (60% base / 40% equity). I put very low effort, completely disengaged and unmotivated, with anxiety building up. Don’t like the company, but very few companies can match where I live

I’m being offered ~110k to work more, better title, fun project and company

What’s your story?

What is the longest you have seen someone with less than 50% utilization stay in a firm?

You learn who actually didn't consider you a friend/someone in their life based on wedding invitations. It's loud and clear.

Bitter? No. Entitled? No. Maybe taken aback, putting things into perspective. Realizing the friendship was only temporary. You were there when they needed you, but they didn't consider you an actual friend at all.

More like an afterthought.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Juicy news. Kolkata AC. My RL told that he will schedule a catch-up today/tomorrow to discuss year end ratings. RL have received the performance ratings

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

Thoughts on boomeranging back to old company after a year? I left on good terms and stay in touch with the director.

Is it normal for managers/project leads to request a 3 month notice if you want to leave your project and join another one? My project does this and I think it’s absurd.

I have an undergrad degree in economics and want to pursue biotech/pharma corporate development. Are there any classes / degrees /certifications you would recommend to help make up for the lack of a technical science background?

Anyone get great feedback from their team/ client from project to project, but inexplicably afraid that the next project could be a disaster/ the downfall of your career? I feel like my peers think way more highly of me than I do of myself 😔

SM asked us to shifted client billing hours to non-chargeable code... Will significantly impact utilization... Sucks

Does anyone have experience using power apps? I’m creating one and when inserting the button function it keeps moving as I enter it into the screen.

Hey fellow fish,
Deloitte Tax Management Consulting (TMC).
Thoughts please? Is it mgt consulting? Exit opps?

what you say about Capgemini Salesforce practice? salary, benefits? culture?

Is it worth going to Wharton (or any M7, for that matter) for MBA? Got a deferred acceptance, but now am reconsidering due to opportunity cost, and I’m skeptical that it would help me get somewhere I otherwise couldn’t.

Part of the reason why I applied in the first place was to shut my parents up about me not going to a top school 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣

How to go from “I want to go for early promo” convos to “I am burned out and need a break” without “burning the bridge” with leadership? I have always been a strong performer, my reviews are all perfect and the feedback I got from my coach and account leaders was to go for early promo next year - started talks accordingly. However, this performance came with being overworked and completely burning myself out after months of non-stop 70-80 hour weeks. Any advice on how to go about this?

thoughts on ServiceNow consulting?

Any really impactful books that have helped you career-wise? Not necessarily consulting focused. In need of guidance and a new book so figured I'd kill two birds with one stone or whatever.
