I saw that X was important to know if the first months at MBB. Is that true? What is your experience?

Thanks, this is so useful! 🤗🙏

Read - unspoken rules by gorick ng. Does a great job of helping you navigate the fact that folks at MBB have been here a while and sometimes don’t remember the time when we had no idea about what the roles really were about, didn’t know what questions to ask, and when to ask them.

Hi all,

I joined
KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.

I am unable to figure out what can be done now.

Should I start searching work outside.

How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)

Any inputs will be helpful.

Anyone else frustrated with the lack of follow through from potential employers? I have had two companies undercut my ability to have an equal chance to compete for a role.

Another company flat out said they couldn’t find my application (in their system where it was attached to job req number) and filled the role.

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.
