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

Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?
