Currently on my 9th 1 on 1 behavioral interview. They keep adding more. And want a final presentation. Should I say something?

What is it that you want to say and do you think it would be appropriate for you to do so? The only thing appropriate is to understand interview process, and # and type of interviews. Complaining or questioning value of them in any way is not appropriate. Play the game , I know it’s frustrating.

When I was working in industry, I applied for a higher position in a dif department, had 11 interviews, was offered the job yet no pay increase (despite higher pay band for job), citing that they didn’t support cross-departmental pay increases - naturally I declined and left the company for 45k increase at Deloitte, now making 3x more within 6 years.

I had 8 before landing my role.
So happy I stuck through it and left consulting.

Ask about expectations? I always knew this would be the case so can’t complain.

On the other hand, when I interviewed with slalom, they kept scheduling interviews without an expectation, waiting for a project to become available. I moved on.

I am going through the same process for a SM role at EY. Has been 3 months now. 7, 1:1 video interviews with different levels over this period of time. Don't want to say anything bc it can come across as needy and put me at a disadvantage if they make an offer and I want to negotiate salary.

More pronounced in industry due to the virtual interviewing nature the employer is afraid of making a mistake when it comes to cultural fit within their organization. The more interviews simply means the hiring authority is looking to spread the risk of making a mistake and hiring a poor candidate.

EY is notoriously slow for SM. They dragged my friend for four months and then didn’t make an offer. Easier to go in as M.

Yea, I believe they stall until its concrete you will be staffed if hired due to high bill rate. Kind of same as the ole lose the client lose your job concept.

Hi everyone,

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Recruiter shared post on-site feedback and she mentioned that she would like to do the team match and do 1-2 additional rounds of interviews because the feedbacks now are borderline and have a very low chance of HC. Any team here who's hiring SAP Program Manager role? Please kindly keep in contact with me :)

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
