What’s up with Kearney? Any chances that 26 will be better? I’m tired of this firm but not finding any exit. I can’t live on edge perpetually.

Why is this a question on the full ME bowl? With all the clean-up, there is definitely focus to re-adjust and grow. Things take time.

Its not just happening at Kearny , other firms are impacted too. Its an industry wide thing

Agreed this is an antagonist post by someone who is a ‘consultant’ but wouldn’t put ‘Kearney’ as their moniker. They’d put it in the Kearney bowl if they were still at Kearney.

If OP can distinguish between market conditions and firm challenges that would help, especially with an industry focus - defense is still very well utilized so perhaps consider that staffing!
