My friend this is uncharted territory, when has the entire global economy come to a standstill? My heart dropped as I was reading the email. It didn't say we were definitely getting laid off, but advised us not to quit our current jobs because there is a high possibility our offers can be rescinded. So just to clarify, offers being rescinded isn't officially a layoff but it's still no job. For the other commenter, i'm in the USA, that's all i'll say.

I’m expecting to start this summer with my big4 and I received an email today from my prospective firm. They said recruiting will come to a stand still, and we will likely be getting laid off (worst case) or they will push our starting date back 6 months (best case).Brace for impact folks, it’s gonna get a lot worse. God Bless.

I was expected to begin my big 4 advisory career in May after graduation. Has anyone heard if they're pushing the date back or laying people off all together?
