Anyone know if it's normal for agencies like Peace Corps and USAID to take 2+ months to give an update on whether your application has been referred to the hiring manager? I applied for a position, for example, with USAID at the beginning of February and the status still shows up as application received...

100% usual. USAJobs is a black hole and you may or may not receive any sort of update on any application you submit, and that update will likely come sometime between 30 days and never after you submit the application.

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response. Is this white flag territory or is there still hope? And if it’s the ladder is there anything I can do to speed up the process or is it just a waiting game.

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.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
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 got invited to a second round interview with a big company. The title sounds more senior than my current title, but the work responsibilities feel like a step down.

Is it ok to reject the offer if they make one, on the grounds of the role not being a good fit for me.

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.
