With all these layoffs happening; particularly software tech companies; would you advise a job seeker to apply at big 4 consulting or take a chance with tech/software companies?

The customers for consultants are tech companies. When things get even a little bit ambiguous consulting companies cut fast, usually before their industry clients. There are no guarantees or safe choices anywhere. Focus on what you value and what organization(s) align with that. Careers are long, your mindset should be on growth. A layoff prompts growth and change, which is the product that both tech and consultants really sell. Embrace it.

Is now still a good time to switch jobs? Have an offer at Big 4 with start date in a few months in public sector (so hopefully relatively stable) but worried about handing in my notice and offers being rescinded due to economic conditions (UK recession/inflation forecasts)

I was in the final round of interview with Amazon right before the layoff news came out. A week later, I got an “incline” offer for the position that I’m applying to. Can anyone share their experience and tell me what that “incline” means? Retail Operations getting hit. I wonder if this opening will still be available. If so, I got an offer later. Will this be a hire to fire case?

MBB em level role vs. director level tech (non FAANG) exit? Coming from b4, roughly 10 yoe. I know it’s probably a personal preference thing but hoping to get opinions here. Tech role is $190k base plus a 30% target bonus. MBB role i got a verbal offer without a comp figure yet but my understanding is it’s around there, maybe 10-20% higher (or maybe much higher depending on bonus).

Didn’t fully expect to get the MBB offer honestly, but both beat my 180/198 b4 comp. Now i’m torn.
