Applied EH Consultant & made it through case study round. Did well but average for MBB

Got what I thought was a rejection email:“We really enjoyed meeting with you. However, we regret to inform you that we are unable to move forward with your application at this time.”

Peer says my #1 office just isn’t hiring currently and it isn’t an outright rejection. Checked application portal too and my application hasn’t been closed/rejected yet

Is this a rejection or is there still an opportunity here?

Treat job hunting like dating. If someone says “hey, I really like you, but I’m just not ready for a relationship right now”, then you should just move on and find a better opportunity that actually cares about hiring you immediately. If they decide to reach out in the future, entertain it then, but in the meantime, don’t put your eggs in one basket

Great perspective!

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
