6 months ago I’m interviewing for M&A tax positions at several firms, including RSM. I interview with national M&A tax leader. Do well enough for next interview with regional M&A leader. Do well enough for three more interviews (partner, SM, senior). This whole process is taking about 5 weeks as recruiter mentions troubles with schedules. Then, 2 weeks go by and I hear nothing. I couldn’t care less as I’ve already accepted PwC offer (took PwC just 10 days from initial interview to offer).

Here is a better and pettier way of responding: telling them you picked PwC because of the long wait time and unresponsiveness and then cc’ing all the people you’ve interviewed with. Just remember to be professional and concise in the email lol

You should've responded stating that during the long period of no contact, you've applied for, interviewed for and accepted another offer.

I was out of the country and couldn’t be bothered, considering the recruiter couldn’t be bothered to give me a heads up that she’d be on vacation or pass the job to another recruiter

Sounds like they dodged a bullet with you.

I would have responded and given that feedback. I did the same and the recruiter appreciated it. I did receive an offer, but I basically said the process took too long and I had accepted another offer.

What did the recruiter say to you? Did they admit they messed up?

Out of the blue, I get email from recruiter apologizing for the delayed response, she was on vacation. She wants to set up time for a call. I don’t respond - screw em for taking so long. I never hear from them again.

But I wonder, were they going to give me an offer? I did well in the last round of interviews, so I can’t see how I made it past the two main leaders only to fail the senior interview (was for SM position). And they took their sweet time at each round. But if they were going to offer, no way they only send one email and don’t bother following up, right? #rsm

I think you took the better offer based on prestige. If you really wanted to work at RSM you might have reached out to them.

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.
