What’s the shortest time you’ve seen someone laid-off after landing on the bench? Approaching 4 weeks and afraid I might be considered. Doing BD here and there but nothing solid in the pipeline.

What tech consulting practice are you in?

Accenture mid year layoffs coming

Why do you think you might be considered

First year analysts usually get a full year pass (except strat, I think). My first year, I was less than 30% chargeable

Wasn’t staffed for 3 months

Any of you in charlotte? Could use an analyst or two

^ if say, I’m in the west coast, is that doable?

2 weeks for warning notice plus another 2 weeks before layoff. That was at Booz Allen around the time of the sequestration mess.

After being laid off for like the 4th time in the last 10 years, I’m ready to go full time freelance and work for myself. Are there any resources out there for non-creatives on this journey? My background is strategy, analytics & general brand. I can also do media planning/buying for smaller clients.

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything. If anyone knows of any PM roles (hardware/software), please let me know. YOE: 2

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.
