A recruiter texted me “ Hi (name) ! I’m hoping to get your references done today or first thing in the morning. Once these are completed we hope to present you an offer” am I reading this right? Is this a good sign?

Thank you! they just asked me if I had a potential start date in mind so I think things are moving along :)

Of course it's a good sign. Says so in the message - you're getting an offer unless one of your references screws you. Good luck! 🍀

Try to ask recruiter what sort of reference they will be doing or what references should expect to touch on. prep your references on the same based on what you get .

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.

The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?
