While I understand that PwC is actively having layoffs, does anyone else feel like the entire industry is in a downward trend, with the economy right behind it. What is everyone doing to hedge?

P5- the banks are ahead of us as far as "canaries in the mine" go. They started laying people off back in November while we were just implementing hiring freezes. As far as industry goes, we're ahead of them. It's a matter of time before F500 firms (non-banks) start announcing mass layoffs and restructuring. This is a good time to go to school as job prospects are diminishing and debt is cheap

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.

I am a substitute teacher. I was a social worker in a previous Ife. After 8 years I have discovered that substitute teaching is perfect for me and I love it. The past few years I have found a niche in high school. The kids are incredible and I can't wait for the school year to begin. However there have already been several opportunities in middle school. I will admit I'm a little nervous about middle school. Does anyone have any suggestions about middle school students?

Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?
