Don’t worry OP! Julie will lay-off people during recession and blame poor performance of the employees. She did this during Covid

And then send out a mass email to the employees asking them to refer all of their friends…like the ones they had just fired

I‘d be surprised to see industry-wide layoffs in consulting as most types of consulting are still in crazy high demand. Why would you expect that to change?

Probably just people who insist on working from home indefinitely. 😂

What layoffs?

like

Yes. Be strategic about where you are and your specialty.

You have to step back and see the horizon. It won’t suddenly collapse. First there won’t be the same number of opportunities. That is happening now. Not quite sure when layoffs occur. Seems to be specific to the industry and firm.

See 2020. Laid off people just in case (but called it non performance, to add insult to injury.)

In consulting it’s always “performance based” :

Do you really work 8-5 honestly only on project work ?

The global leadership team just reiterated to our North American team that we are still hiring with no changes to the 2022 plan.

I do appreciate that fact. Companies have to make some kind of decision in the face of uncertainty. The last two years is a huge example. But I also read from a number of sources and believe literally the last 10 days or so was a tipping point. The question becomes how deep and now quickly. I’m guessing flat in the employment market, which will have an impact on hiring and salaries. Not sure after that yet.

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
