More layoffs coming for consulting?

I have a friend who just got laid off at a big 4, so was curious if anyone has heard anything about more layoffs coming for consulting. I know many of the top consulting firms already did layoffs over the spring/summer.

Management Consulting LinkedIn Review

“Ashley was very sweet and knowledgeable. We started off with a LinkedIn Review to tailor my LinkedIn more towards consulting, as it was previously IB. After that, she knew exactly what I wanted from my request when I scheduled the session, and we jumped into that. She gave me some very actionable takeaways as to waht I should be doing right now in the consulting timeline, and I think the best part was that she specified how I should do these things. For example, for networking, she told me 5 specific groups to target that I could reach out to. She was very kind and so helpful!”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Daniel was an exceptional mock interviewer. He asked sharp, realistic questions that pushed my thinking, and he paired them with clear, actionable feedback at the end. He pinpointed the exact areas where I could tighten my delivery and structure my answers more effectively. I walked away feeling significantly better prepared and more confident for my upcoming interviews—would recommend him without hesitation. He was very effective, kind, and scheduling was really easy. We were able to schedule a session in less than 24 hrs. ”
