Try getting your referrers to ping the recruiter? It took a while for me to hear back as well

No, still actively hiring a lot of people. The silence could mean your app isn’t being moved forward (I’ve had this happen with people I’ve referred), or that recruiting is just super backed up.

Absolutely not for Bain at least, and I assume McKinsey and BCG are the same. Seems like we’re basically trying to hired qualified people as quickly as possible from every source.

I know BCG and McK got back to me pretty quick, but Bain flat out did not reply over year. (I think my March 2021 app is still active, lol).

Still hiring though

Would reach out to either a recruiter or your referral :)

I’ve heard that HR is pretty backed up atm, so it varies from recruiter to recruiter. I moved through the funnel in 1-2 wks while others I know moved through at snails pace.

I've been applying to jobs for months but every position wants at least 2yrs of experience in real estate transactions, usually way more.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
