Your friend would let HR scuttle you because of a spelling error? Sounds like a terrible manager or a terrible friend.

depressing that so many here are willing to overlook what should be a deal breaker every time. No candidate worth their salt is going to submit a resume with spelling errors.

A typo and "glaring spelling errors" are a bit different. And you'll lose lots of good people if that's your standard. But hey, I don't plan to apply to D anytime soon (and my resume is perfect, damn it!) so you do you.

Assuming a person is incompetent because of One misspelling is extreme. It does not reflect that the person is a chronically bad user of English in any way. As none of us, even you D1 are perfect

So he has a say in who gets selected... am I boned?

I agree. Careless mistake... not much hope, just wanted other perspectives.

Me.

He wants to hire me... I'm a really strong fit... but I think because of the typo, HR will toss it before it can get to him

So... then...?

I appreciate the feedback everyone! Upvotes for you all!

Did 4 rounds of interviews. Last 2 with 2 partners at EY. Haven’t heard back even after 1 month. One partner even commented “you will be a good addition to the team”. Hiring manager gave EY email after her interview call with me.
Fast forward two weeks, no communication. Recruiting was surprised that I was still chasing for this position, month later. Got to know last week that hiring team was continuing to interview candidates. Should I drop the idea to get hired? EY hasn’t rejected me yet.

What do you do if you receive an IOI that is insultingly low? I feel like a lot of problems would be solved by putting a price on the company rather than go through the bid process.

Curious if Truist added extra perks for their junior bankers i.e. base salary increase, meal stipends, etc. along with the other banks? Thanks

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
