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 Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.
