No. There are a surplus of new hires that need to be worked into the rotation. End of summer slump (PTO) is ending and all new people will be given a chance as projects come up. If you can't find work after you've had a project or two then you can worry

As long as you can show you have been contributing somehow that is the key. Your counselor can argue for you if you spent the two months helping build the practice or running on pursuits.

There's usually a one year period after starting. After that, a 2 month bench period would probably be a warning

Why don't you start asking KPMG MD/P for guidance on that. There are a variety of circumstances they look at before simply firing ppl.

No- unless it's something you did to get benched like told off a client.

3.5 months in , doing great without charging anything . Involved in other stuff though

No, I think they will give it longer than that.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
