To me, maybe I’m lucky, but I got exactly what I wanted
I interviewed with 4 people (2 senior managers, 2 managers), and I got the ability to rank them from 1-4 post interview.
A few days later I get the call that 3 of the 4 want me, and I get to choose, as apparently they all included different offers (only slightly, something around a 5k difference between them).

The number 1 I put is the manager I started with day one, I’m happy since he’s been just as great as he was in my interview

...project that didn't interview me?

This is my story, could be different from person to person:

I was supposed to start right on a project, we lost the work so I never got onboarded but before starting I did all the paperwork to on board.

Week 3 at firm I asked what gives, they told me what went down. I went to the bench and did nothing for a couple months. Now at USPS

Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

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?
