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!

Message the talent lead that organizes the interviews and ask them to reschedule. Not a bad sign for you, but it looks bad on the interviewer.
A lot of people took a vacation today OP. Because of the long weekend in the US.
Maybe check in with the recruiter to see what happened. Might not be a bad sign for so much as something came up for the interviewer
This WAS the behavioral interview. To see how you react to rejection, to see if you can handle a typical day at Deloitte.
Welcome to the number one talent experience.

S/He’s probably testing your behavioral in this difficult situation
Well it kinda sucked since I prepped so much and took pto for it, but no shows happen in the real-world with clients and teammates every once in a while so I’m not phased. Can’t imagine it being a useful test though.
Please be nice. Maybe they forgot on account of the holiday, but they may have had an emergency. Hope all is well and good luck on your interview. Maybe you’ll join us soon! 🙂
Of course, I just let the recruiter know I’m still interested in interviewing and look forward to talking to the interviewer at a time that works better for everyone. I made sure to not throw him under the bus or be antagonistic.
I’m sorry you were left hanging!! I unfortunately see miscommunications like this too often, either because the coordinator didn’t notice that the interviewer never accepted the invite or the interview did a bad job blocking calendars coming up to the long weekend. Not a reflection on you. Agreed with the advice in this post to follow up
Probably just got in a bad situation
My second round interview with Deloitte was cancelled 2 hrs before due to the manager Missing her flight
Damn now I’m worrying I missed an email I was supposed to interview someone today
Talked with the recruiter. This stuff happens. All good - we’re shooting for next week now.

Deloitte doesn't intentionally set up interviews just for no one to show up. This is on the interviewer and should in no way impact you (besides the annoyance of needing to reschedule).
Our offering has been forcing us to do interviews and is just scheduling them regardless of prior pto or client commitments and making you find a sub. So maybe that happened.

Hey OP, I’m so sorry about your experience! Please contact the recruiter to let them know. This isn’t typical. The scheduling coordinators are based abroad and sometimes if an interviewer has a conflict, due to the time difference, the coordinators may not have been able to inform you, or update it.

And don’t forget to prepare for situational questions “tell me about a time when…", depending on role level, they can ask about leadership style, how you motivate teams, etc
