Can you say what clients you’ve worked on in an interview? It’s public knowledge that the firm is this clients auditor. My resume has general descriptors of type/size clients I have worked on but I am wondering if they might ask more specifics in either the interview or just regular conversation.

If it is a public client you can. Private client you cannot.

Yeah general rule: you can discuss either details of what you did, or you can name drop. But never both. If you give the clients name you can't really talk about anything more than public knowledge (which is basically just black and white numbers). Couldn't go into the details for the story of your experience while working there.

That is a really helpful way to think about it! Thank you 😊

It would probably be better to say what you exactly did while on the engagement and avoid names

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday.

Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?
