My biggest trick is responding “Assume you’re not interested in...” making THEM feel like the bad guy and they usually respond right away.

Haven’t tried it with recruiters specifically though, but works wonders in other situations.
“Assume you’re not interested in this opportunity. / in participating in (...)”

Usually get “Omg no sorry here’s my excuse!”

Agree with creative director 2. I have a wild philosophy: the agency MAY have other things to do on top of interviewing. I know, that philosophy is out there

I had the in-house staffer send me an email thanking me for meeting with all if the diff peeps and they would have a decision next week. I responded “so im not going to meet the decision maker that was unavailable for the past 3 weeks”. The response changed to, they will have a decision as to who will be chosen for the next level to meet that person. 🤣🤣🤣

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?

Just a thought, perhaps the admin can pin two threads:

1) When / how did you tell your work you were pregnant?
2) Would you change jobs / interview while pregnant?

Both of these questions come up almost on a daily basis, we should have a centralized thread to help each other out. :)
