Had a Senior from another Big 4 interview me 1st round. Didn’t get past. Isnt it a conflict to have someone who could potentially be direct competition for promotion interview you and make a decision?

I have interviewed a few folks coming in as associates or seniors. More so for overall fit on our team. Agree with others, with such large companies I don’t really see my peers as direct competition. But maybe I should 😂...

OP - Big 4 are big enough to where no new single candidate is “competition”. What does matter is the maturity and experience of the interviewer. Seniors don’t usually make the cut

Dang. 1st rounds are really just an intro at D.
Did they say why you didn’t move past?

I was allowed to interview folks when I was a senior during my promotion year to manager. Strictly on their technical skills to see if they would fit the needs so this might be a similar case?

Same here. Of course if they just seemed to be a terrible fit for any reason I did have the power to say no and stop the whole process.

Yes

At K we have peer interviews to gauge culture fit

I get the peer interview aspect. But I usually experience those near the end of a series of interviews to assess fit and how the candidate would interact with peers. This was the first interview and was strictly a case (no behavioral questions). @D2 I think that’s true to a certain extent but it depends on how large the sub group is within your advisory/consulting industry focus. The team I was interviewing with was very specialized so I could still see there being direct competition. On to the next one

☹️

It’s less about you being competition and more about you being dead weight

Started a new job search about 2 weeks ago. Of the 14 recruiter screening calls I’ve gone through, all went amazingly well, and I’ve only heard back at all from 4 since the calls. Why?

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.
