Anyone has ever got an interview offer from PWC ( or other Big 4) then reschedule it when it comes close to the interview date? Is this a bad impression?

I am thankful for Slalom staff aug for allowing my low functioning self to fly under the radar. I used to be a Big 4 hardo, but COVID fatigue/languishing has me ready to retire. The hardest part of my job is convincing peers that a handful of emails, meetings, and deck updates each day = 40 billable hours/week.

I got call from HR of one of Big 4 firm. She had such an irritating tone for a HR. When I told my expected CTC, she went on to persuade me to quote lower number since they don't have budget. I even came down to a point since I wanted to get Big 4 Opportunity. She kept on saying a number which was not even 15% of my current package. Finally, she said she's not going to process the profile with an almighty attitude. Such an arrogant tone from Big 4 HR. I wonder this MNCs have idiots as HRs

Is it worth making the jump from B4 audit to Mazars transaction Advisory/FDD group?

I have two opportunities currently. One is to stay at Meta as a CW for another year in the hopes I convert (my role is quite visible and I feel valuable to my team, and my team has a history of converting CWs). My pay is around $94k. The other is a consultant role at a well known company (not big 4) where I’ve received positive feedback and have been recommended for a higher pay band - $130k Should I stay at Meta for the potential to convert, or take the cash and run?

I often see posts about people getting 350K exit or 450K or more in FAANG. Are those strategy folks from Big 4 or are there cyber folks too getting these exits ? I am making close to 200k as M3 in cyber . Not able to anything that would pay more than this in non-consulting ? What roles should I target ?

My wife is giving birth in a few months to our first child. Should I take the full 16 weeks? Four months seems like an extremely long time. What about utilization and bonus? Getting replaced in projects and initiatives?

Prior, I had always goaled on specific (cont.)
