Grad? What are you even talking about - once we staffed an intern and billed him as an analyst 💁🏻‍♂️

None of the big 4 are going to be mentioned, but all of their employees will flood social media with posts how awful MBB is and how glad they are to work for their firm …while applying at MBB companies like it’s Christmas. After every rejection, they will continue to make a post about high morality. A select few will rejoice if their firm does get a mention- like a sidekick of one of the big 3.

Accenture folks will do this the most. Followed by Deloitte, EY, PWC and KPMG in that order

It has happened before

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

My company is hiring for CPAs for associate for our dispute and investigation group. DM me if interested. Preferably have audit experience.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
