Asked to leave MBB after one year – Looking for advice (Germany)
Hi all,
I’ve been at MBB for about a year and was recently asked to leave the firm following my latest performance evaluation.
The confusing part is that my reviews were generally good. I spoke with several of my managers, and they told me they don’t really understand the decision either. Their impression is that the firm needs to reduce headcount, and unfortunately I was one of the people affected.
Since I work in Germany, I can’t simply be terminated, so I’ve been offered the option to leave within the next six months in exchange for a severance package. To be honest, the offer doesn’t seem particularly attractive.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience—particularly what kind of severance package you received, whether you negotiated it, and how you approached the overall situation.
Thanks in advance!
