Why do consulting firms terminate employment of Junior consultants for no serious reason ? Taking juniors like luxury interim people... I have a friend that got laid off after two probations (6 months for the first probation, 8 for the second) for no reason. She felt profoundly disrespected and says that if nobody can take her longer than 6 months, she can't progress alone. How can she move forward and persuade her future employer to confirm her employment?

It's actually really difficult to fire someone...you have to build an entire case against the person in order to get the okay to offboard someone from HR and managing partners

Even on probation? That’s the main problem for her, as long as she stays on probation she feels like she’s not entitled the same rights (real case, performance plan, time to adjust etc)

Doesn’t answers your question but if you get put on probation/PIP, it means it’s time to start looking and GTFO.....

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️

Since, most of my work has been in Diligence and PMO - there is little I can show to quantify the impact made. 

For e.g. "Evaluated Industry X by conducting market sizing, voice of customer analysis....etc" - This just states what I did instead of bringing out the impact. How will you tweak this?

Thank you.
