Consulting layoffs

Current recession giving ‘08 vibes to consulting companies in India:

  • Accenture Strategy considering layoffs
  • Deloitte (Consulting) considering layoffs
  • Mckinsey - already have done non-consulting layoffs
  • MBB - expected to push out joining dates for new hires by at least ~6 months (most likely new joiners who were expecting to join in July-Aug 23’ to join only starting Jan 24’)

Slow pace of new projects, ramp down of existing big clients, massively over hiring in 2022 (key reason) has led to most people being on the bench.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the ‘Up or Out’ model comes into action more aggressively for the upcoming appraisal review cycle(s).

Brace for impact!

Layoffs

Layoffs at Bain India. At least 100+ people will be affected

Heard from people I know at Bain that they are laying off. This is mostly the first time an MBB is doing layoffs (earlier they would silently fire, or delay onboarding)
