Anyone have heart palpitations with the recruitment processes at some of these firms? Have interviewed so far at an MBB and a big four and possibly it’s because they are understaffed, but I’m getting instances of disorganization, inconsistent guidelines, scheduling snafus, confusion on the side of the people interviewing me, comms falling off the face of the map, forgetting emails I replied to previously. Maybe Covid has exacerbated the situation, but I find myself worrying.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

Guys is this normal in TCS that even after final CTC discussions ,candidates get rejectd.
