Yes. Very slow. And the open positions you will find tend to ghost you after interviews. Almost like many companies need people, but can’t hire them so they are trying to have multiple candidates they can call when the position opens. Many companies are on hiring freezes. I think I read on linked in that half the open positions there aren’t true openings.

It’s super demotivating and exhausting. Not too mention straight rude and unprofessional in my opinion. People take time to attend interviews and prep for them. If you have no intention of hiring anyone and repost the same position every few weeks to make your company look like it’s prosperous at the moment, you’re an ass. I have had 7 companies take me to final round and let me know they will reach out when they get HR approval to hire. It makes you want you want to ask round one is this a real job but hard to without coming across as an ass.

Pretty slow the last year or so. Took me 8 months to land my current role (to be fair I was also extremely picky and turned down a few offers).

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

On the chopping block. actively looking. anyone hiring?

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
