We (PwC) are hiring but 4 of my 5 current clients have imposed freezes, three just since Friday.

I was supposed to have a final interview with EY at the end of Feb, so I’m a little nervous that they have too many ppl on the bench :(

That’s rough

Are these hiring freezes occuring because of the coronavirus or typical reasons due to budget, firm performance, etc?

We had one in February. It was just cold.

(this is just a joke jesus #NotOBODeloitte)

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
