Feeling really low 😔 been interviewing with AlixPartners since last 7 months. After 10 interviews ,tests ,cases and waiting to hear back for 3 months finally got a denial today. I was told I was over the bar in all interviews, tests etc. but they found someone even better. 😔😔😔 I was really interested in the role and had high hopes.

10 interviews... you should give yourself a pat in the back for even having so much patience. I would be done after 2 rounds.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet OP. If this is how they conduct their interviews, they must treat their employees even worse.

That’s rich coming from Deloitte.

We are well positioned as a firm despite the crisis, and AP is a pretty amazing place to work.

Really sorry to hear that. AP has a notoriously tough process to get through, so you should be proud to just get to where you have.
Perhaps you would consider an opportunity at A&M? Certainly far fewer hoops and I don't believe we would require an IQ test ;)

10 interviews? You’re better off not being there

10 interviews?! That’s more than usual. Anyway, it appears to be positive feedback and we are amidst a pandemic - if you felt like you had good rapport with the recruiter and any of the interviewers, stay in touch with them and as things revived, reapply. You’ll likely not need to go through the entire process again.

Also did they really say they found someone better? That sounds rather unprofessional and uncharacteristic...

Sorry to hear that Op. This year has been rough on top of our already slow recruiting process - but that’s no excuse for not making a speedy decision. Which level were you trying to join at?

We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
