Followed up with a recruiter two weeks after final interview for a role. Two days after my follow up, I received the response that updates would be coming from the hiring manager and if I haven’t already heard from her already, that I will be hearing from them on Tuesday (office closed today and Monday for holiday). Does this sound hopeful or more so in the camp of impending doom? Hiring process is brutal, finding it difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

No way to tell. Stay positive until you hear otherwise. And as always, even when you are very confident about your chances, still continue with the overall application and interview process until you've officially accepted a job.

Best of luck!

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC bangalore rescinding an offer given the current market condition? The role in my offer letter seems to be pretty generic and during interviews, it didn't look like, they were interviewing for a particular project or team. I have doubts specifically because of HR's behaviour during the whole recruitment process where they never responded to my emails or calls. Is this normal practice?
