Hi all, I'm sure it's not only me who've gone through this but, how do pick back up yourself after Big4 rejection? I'm a Grad Student, MS

It's not like it's the biggest thing in the world but I've reached the SuperDay, I felt like my interview went well but I'm an international student who is not on a STEM course and would need sponsorship after one year, I felt that might have impacted the decision? ( I put it in my initial application, so going through it was surreal).

Thoughts? #EY

I know it's a tough blow, but you just have to remind yourself that at the end of the day, it's business, not personal. My rule of thumb is to allow myself one day to wallow in self pity, and then I have to get back on the horse and keep pushing forward. Hang in there!

Big4 firms are insanely competitive. Add that to the fact that the economy right now is horrible, hiring freezes are rampant...you really should not feel discouraged. Sponsorship requirements can definitely affect the situation so I'd take a look at companies you know are willing to sponsor.

EY was willing. I was even shocked why I made it through and through when I disclosed it in the application that I needed sponsorship bec I thought I was gonna be rejected at one examine bec what the point of interviewing me if there is an underlying factor thats a big no already, and they also told us in the info session bec thats where i got to learn abt the openings and applied through the whole process. I was reco’d by an executive too. So idk, i’ll still try, it’s just a redirection.

Did 3 panel interviews at Discover Financial Services for the Sales Account Executive role and felt the TC package was too low. Salary at $70K with annual bonuses at 25% with. $5K one-time sign on bonus.

The recruiter is now thinking of two other roles for me:
Lead, Program Marketing
Lead Field Solutions Representative
Any feedback?
