Retrenchment, or reorganization? A popular financial gossip site says many Deloitte employees in the securitization transaction group will be laid off, relocated or transferred in the next several weeks.

Down, But Not Out at Deloitte?: Wall Street gossip site DealBreaker.com reported that Deloitte was reorganizing its mortgage, asset-backed and CDO transaction practice group. A company spokesman acknowledged that securitizations business has slowed, but said they were just moving folks around. Deloitte’s Web site lists more than 6,000 current openings nationwide for experienced hires, including over 450 positions in New York City.

You Could Be the Next Compliance Star: Banks and thrifts are meeting rising compliance demands by raising headcounts rather than relying on increased technology resources, says a new report from Deloitte & Touche USA. The report also cites needless duplication of functions, and concludes that compliance costs as a percentage of net income rose from 2.83 percent in 2002 to 3.69 percent in 2006. Sounds to us like a case for you being in charge of a visibility-raising, across-the-business-lines committee.

I am over 50. I have many years of hands on experience.I have seen good and horrible employee's. I have been outsourced, downsized,
left a hostile environment. I was a good employee.I even went back to school to finish my degree. My professors said that many things were screwed up. I agree with them.No one wants to hire me I have sent out thousands of resume. Went to placement firms. temp firms. When will companies face the fact that they have labor problems.When can someone go to work and not be hassled by co-workers.I do not want to do the same thing. But that seems to be all you get calls for.
How can one make a career change after 50.?
