I am working in finance transformation at kpmg (formerly accounting advisory) and am very interested

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Anyone who recently appeared for interview at Deloitte UK (consulting). Need to know more about the interview process and some tips for preparation.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Actually, I gave Interview for BackEnd Developer @ Itilite. I was selected in the interview process (2 Tech DSA Based + HR) and got a mail stating that our interview panel is really impressed with your domain related expertise in order to proceed with offer negotiation please submit your documents. Now after 2-3 days of document submission, they came up by saying they cant move forward with my candidature.

I am still amazed how can they do this after asking my documents.

Looking for guidance. I’ve been passively applying to Director roles since January, and actively for 2 weeks now. I’ve gotten one call for a position I didn’t apply to and no other response. Is there something I should be doing to get more traction?

For context, I was hired as a site GM. Then 8 months later made a regional. In January I was placed in a Director capacity pending position approval. The position has been postponed a year tentatively but I’ve been asked to continue in unofficial

So this job search thing is a lot harder than I thought. You either never hear back, or just get pre-written denial emails. What does it take to get on a call to defend your case?!

I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?
