which firms are delaying to january? my firm seems to have just delayed starts by a couple of monthsThey just haven't updated you yet. I'm expecting all lit-consulting firms and MBB to delay most until late fall or 2021.
Based on what I've heard internally, the case work has slowed down. Unless there is a significant uptick in the next few months, firms simply cannot handle the cash-strain from new hires. It's either that or the firm lays-off current employees. They also have an obligation to provide EOY bonuses to current employees.
Best of luck to those in this market. I have enough savings to handle waiting until Jan. I will also likely seek other offers to see if I can force their hand and start earlier. But I don't see any alternatives.
This is not universally true. The firm I know about has been fairly busy with cases.
