Do the department or the rank of a referrer matter? Excluding the obvious referrals from partner/directors, will referrals from audit folks have any weight? Looking for help on this 🙏

My imagination tells me it would definitely be relevant. Not going to lose or gain you the job, but definitely a good addition to have a partner recommend you

Audit referral will have zero weight but so will pretty much every referral. I’m a SM that knows the recruiters and has 5 referrals that still work here and my candidates don’t always get selected for a phone screen.

Referrals just get your resume looked at but will never land you the job

Getting a referral from auditor is meaningless. I would network with the team and get the referral someone in the team.

Dear all,

How's it like working for PwC India as SAP Functional Senior Associate?
I have a 5.3y work ex with ACN, as a FSCM consultant (L10 currently, was assured of a L9 effective March, but declined due to growing poor culture within ACN).
Got an offer from PwC India
Current TC: 9.5 LPA.
PwC Offered TC: 19 LPA.
IBM Offered Fixed: 17 LPA
IBM would be a smooth drive, but skeptical to join PwC given the WLB issues, as a lot of folks say.

Any thoughts, comments would be really helpful!

With 18 months of FDD as a senior 3 I’m starting to look at a jump to IB (yes I know its not a good time with the markets - just starting conversations). I can’t seem to find any true HHs or recruiting firms. For those who made the jump did you use any search firms or just start reaching out to folks at specific banks to start conversations? Any tips on starting this networking process if you don’t have many natural “ins”?
