Hello, I have been reading much about the economy lately and how many people predict another recession may be sometime soon. Does anyone have insight into how this influences hiring, particularly regarding Western Europe and the DACH region? I am curious but also about to start applying for jobs in Austria and Germany and I wondered if the hiring surge of 2018 is still on-going or if it is slowing down. Also, if there is another recession is it normal then for the newest hires to be let-go or for their jobs to be less secure? Or just maybe everyone recieves less bonus if less work is coming in?

Even during recessions, consultancies will need new people coming in. Classes may be a little smaller, but most of the impact would be felt by consultants already in the firm: less staffing, harder promotions / longer cycles... and yes, smaller bonuses.
PS: You cannot control the economy, so don't focus on it too much.

Does rejection from the McKinsey and Company case workshop hinder my ability to apply for the open roles in London, and will I be subject to the 12-month waiting period?

Hi I work as a private equity / M&A lawyer in London considering a shift to MBB. My attraction stems from the more commercial / strategic thinking I believe consulting will give me and I can later leverage that to either pivot to (i) industry; or (ii) private equity. Thoughts?
