Approached by a recruiter for Siegfried Group... Is it ok to ask her what other companies/positions she’s currently recruiting for, or do recruiters prefer you only discuss the role they contacted you about? Also anyone know what the (internal) referral bonus is for someone who brings a senior associate into Siegfried?

I’m sure the recruiter wouldn’t mind because they’re just trying to hit a quota. I would also avoid Siegfried Group like the plague. Going from PwC to there would be a decent step down

Yeah no worries I knew what you meant! I’m hoping to get out of audit but if I really struggle to find something else I have thought about applying as a contractor to pwc for seasonal work

I think the internal referral bonuses are around 12-14k and it’s higher if you come from big 4. They also offer you a slightly higher sign on bonus if you come from big 4. I went through the interview process and ended up declining the offer. If you want to use a recruiter I would suggest using a different one. In my experience the ones that reach out about Siegfried are more focused on pushing Siegfried and there are plenty of other recruiters out there that can share other opportunities with you.

I didn’t see Siegfried as a long term option but was seriously considering it bc the pay is good and it gives you a chance to try different industry gigs and figure out what types of roles you like/don’t like. I ended up getting another offer for a role that I was more interested in and decided to turn down Siegfried.

If they are working on other roles, then they'd probably be more than happy to talk to you about them. At the end of the day, the recruiter's goal is to get you placed into one of the jobs that she is working on.

She still hasn't done that even after a follow up.
Is this common? Is this some kind of patience test?
I have no clue but I'm really frustrated at this point.
