Wondering how Accenture is doing with layoffs? Is it a viable company to consider?

Laid off back in Feb, Since then, decided that I won't be held ransom by the marketplace so i decided to start a consulting business. Sometimes challenges are opportunity #hanginthere

With all the rolling layoffs happening in the city this year, are any good account directors hanging out here, and also creative teams? We are looking for some additional support on a project

Layoff going on in Synechron ?

Became the only designer in my company.
We had total of 4 product designers in my company and within the last two weeks, one person got laid off, and two designers left for a different company.

I only have one year of work experience and I’m a big scared about leading design by myself for the time being.

Anyone hiring in Houston? About to get laid off from technology sr consultant role. Willing to travel as much as necessary (when possible)

Did the Deloitte layoffs include people in their federal practice?

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

Went to HR to complain about horrible manager. Will I get fired or let go? I was just speaking up for myself.

Has anyone been fired and then subsequently received unemployment? I was let go this week and am wondering if that is realistic to expect. Thanks!

Are you also being shamed for being happy with today’s decision? I feel fishbowl is the safe space we need to voice opinions without getting canceled/fired/or worse.

What happens when you get laid off? Do you get to stay until the end of the day? Do you say goodbye to people or try to leave without anyone noticing?

Hi, I am interviewing netcracker. EOY 10 years in UI development. HR is saying I will have to again give managerial technical round even though I had completed 2 tech round followed by HR round. Can anyone spread light in below areas
1. How's the WLB ?
2. How's the Job security - I have seen many reviews about frequent layoff
3. Is there really quarterly appraisal and hike ?

My husband and I worked together at the same company for a year in different departments and they laid off 25 employees last week. My husband was one of them. 💔
It was dealt with poorly and severance benefits were bad compared to other companies we are seeing in the media. I’m really struggling to move forward and heal. The priority is for me to support him finding a new job but I just feel sick giving my time and energy to this company when they did this to us. any advice for strength😔

For all fired this year, do you put on your background check (for a job offer) that you were discharged? Heard EY doesnt share if you were fired or resigned, so am wondering what others are putting...

I read to the kids a book that ended with a line like, "If it was a good story, start all over."I told the kids I really only did that once in my life regarding a book about a teacher going to teach in Africa. In reality it was about a missionary. I hid the name of it and what it really was about. In other instances I've also explained the meaning of life is to love sacrificialy without telling them the source. I feel guilty hiding the Truth. How do you speak the Truth without being fired?

People at EYP Finance M&A refer?

I hate to say it, but I really like these new ads for The General. They do a great job of addressing the brand’s perception.

I never understood why it's so difficult for IB associates to break into PE...

Producers: who have you used to create a audio mnemonic for a major brand? This may be a musical sting, SFX or a combo of both. Who absolutely killed it? TIA.

Asking for some suggestions: How do you help a cousin who has come out to you and is asking for help to come out in coming out to his parents? My wife has a cousin in 30s and is close to us. He confided in us yesterday that he is gay. No one in family knows this. We all suspected but obviously it isn’t our place to say anything so we stayed out. He now told us that he wants to come out but is afraid of reactions and is asking for our help. More context in comments.

Thinking about going on a weeklong solo trip. Looking for something relaxing, but where I can get out of my comfort zone to talk with the locals. Any suggestions for an introvert friendly place? 🙂

Hi fishes , if anyone is looking for Xamarin freelancers, please let me know :)

Do big4s have any history of offering early retirement packages?

I’m 51 and a consultant. Am I too old to be this level. Starting to feel like it.

We are buying a house and my knee jerk response was to look at a 30 year fixed mortgage (because that’s what I’ve always done). I realized last night that a 30 year mortgage might outlast me. Having a bit of an existential crisis now.

Anyone else have trouble separating who you are from what you do? I think a lot of our generation built our self identity around our work. If I take my work away, I'm not really sure who I am.

Feeling like my life is racing by being on the road 20 years, and saddens me that when I get home tonight my SO leaves on a business trip.

So my brother doesn't talk to me for 6 months.   (I had offered my lake house guest space to my cousin who said yes instead of my brother who didn't know if he could come nor when he might know if he could come, how unfair of me).

On Thanksgiving day mom arrives and tells me that brother might come by in an hour.  He had ignored my invite weeks ago.  (Uh ok, sure).

Weird question alert: When did your daughters start “developing?” Noticing signs in my soon to be ten year old, which is a little concerning, as my sister has huge...tracks of land. Would rather my daughter didn’t have to deal with what I remember she had to. Anyone remember?

Late 50. Been there done that, so everything is easy. Not sure what to do with retirement. So drifting along working. For those who have been through this, what did you do?

How do you know ageism is happening to you? I've been interviewing ppl a lot the past couple of months so I think I know what a good resume looks like because I've seen hundreds of them. I'm looking for a new role myself and have applied to a few things that if I were the hiring mgr I'd prob want to talk to me but I'm not getting replies. I'm wondering if I should do an experiment and remove ~10-15 yrs of job history and the year I graduated and see if it makes a difference. Thoughts??

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

Do you use or have you used First Command Financial Planning? If so, what’s your experience with them?

At what point does it not make sense to buy/ build a bigger home? My husband dislikes our house immensely (was his with former wife) and wants to move. Only owes $180k on it, we’ve been together 6 years and thus I’d rather just remodel. It’s the only thing we disagree about - moving or staying. He doesn’t want to invest one more cent in this house.

Has anyone thought about retiring right now? How much would it take you realistically to feel financially secure enough to do it? Age 55 and ready to be done.

I will be 50 in January. Close enough? I am a consultant in the data analytics, expertise is in Adobe Analytics.

At this point in career, would you take a step down in title to grab a transfer opportunity and get out of a toxic work environment ?

Instead of watching tv (and all the crappy political ads) I got hooked on Star Trek The Next Generation on Netflix. Started on season 5.

Any one considered doing part time Consulting engagements via Services like MBO, Catalent GLG etc. Seems like a good way to stay in the game earn some extra income but do it on an Ad hock basis.
