Hello, is it normal to get rejection emails or no response at all from middle market firms like RSM but get offers from the Big 4?

Sure, they’re all pretty similar but B4 generally have more spots due to their size

Oh, thanks, I didn’t consider that!

Yes! The Big 4 may have more positions available and you never know what each is looking for in a candidate.

Congratulations on your offer! Sounds like you lucked up. It's their loss

Thanks for confirming MD1!

Thank you AM1! My friend was giving me a hard time since they work in a middle market. I thought maybe something was wrong.

Lol

For sure. Usually, Big 4 has a lot of openings, so your chances are technically higher to get an offer.

Yes, for sure. The middle markets are a lot more limited than the Big 4 who usually have more openings available.

Yea its pretty normal. It kind of goes in waves to be honest.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)
