For those of you that made the jump out of public accounting, how many companies did you interview with? How did you handle turning down companies once you decided on an offer (possibly before finishing interviewing with all the companies)?
Did you work with a recruiter?

Hi.. I applied for an opportunity in UBS which I saw in Linkedin around 10-12 days back and I did receive a kind of automated email for online assessment. I took the assessment but post that I didn't hear anything. I see that job in linkedin is still accepting applications.

What shall I conclude from this? Is my profile not shortlisted for interview or they usually took many applications and then decide who shall be called for interview?
What is the approach?

Interview help.

I finished my final round interview that was a part of 2 month long process. Didn't get the job. Any interview tips for next time that will get you an offer?

Midlevel Corp NYC big law. Received a mixed bag review during mid-year review. Even positive and negative. My reviews over the years have had peaks and valleys. Worried about consistency. Should I dip or at least start talking to recruiters? Didn’t get an action plan or anything but it was a “developmental message.” Besides obviously internalizing and correcting to get better- thoughts on whether I should start looking?

Hello guys,
I am from non IT background, I am having 3.3 years of experience in us healthcare. In Sutherland I gave interview for interface analyst. Manager told me to prepare basic SQL from YouTube. What questions can I expect from manager? Please help

Hi Fishes

I gave google silicon interview all 4 rounds 3+ months back, from then they are saying they want to hire me but headcount approval is not yet received.
Last week they said, lets go for one more round and finalize immediately. That interview also went very good.
Post that they didn't call back itself, they have stopped responding also.

Has anybody faced this issue? This I feel completely unprofessional and not really expected from Google.

Thanks

Am still on my OPT, will file for an extension soon.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable when interviewees ask about diversity at your firm/office? I grew up in a very white area, and I don’t really notice/get bothered by lack of diversity. This recruitment cycle, a lot of non-white students asked if the lack of diversity at my office bothers me and asked why I think it’s so white. I feel like they expect me to have a very academic/astute response, but I just shrug and say I don’t notice it.

If my current pay is higher than the average range in my line of service & location, is it a mistake to ask for the same amount when looking for a new job e.g. $140k current vs $120k market, asking new jobs for $140k and up? I am worried about asking for too much initially, but I realize it's stupid of me not to ask for the max.

Hi Everyone! I’m a newly promoted S1 in a Top 10 in NYC. I’m trying to join KPMG right after 10/15 in their federal business tax group. Is it too early to apply and ask for referrals, or should I wait till we’re closer to 10/15? I reached out to KPMG recruiters on LinkedIn, but no response yet. Thank you all!

Switched to industry from audit about 2 months ago and it’s been worse than expected. Made sure to do my due diligence asking about flexibility, work life balance, etc. and everything has been worse than what I was told. Talked to one of my old recruiters and they said this job is already showing red flags this early and should consider getting out before I’m in too deep and can just leave this off my resume. Any experience/advice with this kind of situation?
