Former GS and contractor here - what pathway are you applying under? The trick is to be able to apply under one of the preferences that will give you an advantage i.e military spouse, displaced federal employee, veteran. Otherwise, you have to apply for a position that’s open to the public and you are at the very bottom of that pool. It doesn’t matter how qualified you are if the next person is just as qualified AND has a preference above yours. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is

Hi thanks for the reply, I am applying for GS5 for regulatory assistant at the army corps of engineers in Los Angeles

I’m on my third fed agency. The first two were part of DoD and i dont really care for it. If you have been in private sector a long time it may be a shocking change to see how feds handle things in comparison.

Thank you I appreciate it

Completed all the interviews and had positive feedback but before the offer I spoke with the recruiter (third party) and asked them if I can get to a certain compensation number as I might have couple other offers around that number but they got back saying the firm has decided to move on as they cannot match it. What can I do now? Still interested in the role.

Deloitte experienced hires, who all received written offers and in process of visa/ onboarding, have you heard back anything about hiring freeze? Or recruiter asked you to delay joining date?

My visa got submitted couple of days back and waiting for decision.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency.

Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
