It’s funny how uncertainty flips a switch. Suddenly my resume’s polished, alerts are on, and I’m paying attention again, looking for any opportunity to leave. Not exactly the motivation I wanted, but I’ll take it.

Interesting advice, sure, less expensive, after paying whatever exorbitant fee Mckinsey charged for it. You do get what you pay for. If FIS hadn't made such consistently poor decisions, they wouldn't have to lay off tenured staff. How do they intend to provide service to clients when the institutional memory is gone? Senior leadership is busy moving deck chairs around on the Titanic, desperately trying to save their own skins. Org charts are being examined, this associate formally reports to this leader to preserve numbers to maintain their position, when in fact, they report to someone else entirely. Frontline staff does not have this luxury. They just wait for an invitation to a meeting in fifteen minutes in which they learn if they have been "impacted" this time. It's an awful way to treat human beings.
Good that you are being proactive, I wish I had done the same before all the lay offs came. It is known that McKinsey consulting firm advice FIS to get rid of existing employees and replace with newbies. Best of luck getting out on time.
