pinkslips_transparent_125x100.gifBad news for professionals in the finance industry. More layoff rumors are circulating. The latest reports in the media are at Accenture Ltd. (NYSE:ACN) and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).

  • Accenture  is cutting 336 senior-level executive positions, according to the IdahoStatesman.com.

  • SVB Capital cut seven employees from its staff last week, according to PeHub.

  • J.P. Morgan is planning to lay off at least 284 employees in California over the next month, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
However, all is not glum. Some companies have announced they are finished with staff reductions. For instance, after cutting 3,000 jobs, Fidelity Investments is "done" with layoffs, according to Providence Business News.

Even though several financial institutions are laying off employees, several are also hiring. Check our job opening pick of the day from The Deal's Career Channel:
