How often do people get laid off at one of the Big 4 after one year? Just curious to hear different opinions because I just saw someone on linkedin who is a Tax Consultant at Deloitte work there for a year, and are now back to their old job. Keep in mind, this person is extremely intelligent and knows what they are doing. Just shocked and a bit intimidated to start in PA at one of the Big 4. EY PwC KPMG Deloitte

Currently with a Salesforce boutique prod and consulting firm as a Manager and make around $135k base with 5% bonus. Very good WLB and loyalty perks. 0% Travel. No layoffs at all. I got an offer from Deloitte for a Sr Consultant position with the base of 145k. Yet to negotiate. I have total 7 yoe. Is this the right move considering just $10k increase in pay? How much Deloitte brand matters for exit ops? I prefer good WLB if not great and prefer travel to be under 50%

If you still believe the election was stolen, you should be fired from your job because no client deserves a consultant with such poor critical thinking skills.

If you accept a salary reduction in these times in good faith, and then are laid off and your severance pay is based not on your original salary but this new one, then your company knew this in advance and may well have violated labor laws.
