Hi,
I was told that I passed all the stages of interviews for a Senior Consultant position at
Deloitte UK and that they want me to join their team but can’t give me an offer until some things are sorted internally. Does anyone know what this can mean and am I essentially ‘on hold’?

I passed all the stages for a Senior Manager role at Deloitte UK earlier in the year and then they said the don't have the budget RN so maybe we will have budget in H2.

Kinda just seems they have a hiring freeze/slow down due to the super secret divestiture that's been clearly going on in the background for quite a while.

Just keep pestering them until they give you an offer or tell you to f'off.

Ah that sucks, I’m sorry. I’m feeling more and more pessimistic about it so will take everyone’s advice and look for jobs elsewhere. It’s ridiculous that Deloitte thinks it can put people through the whole process, tell them they’ve passed and then pull the job/give no updates.

HR can be very slow. Be patient but apply for other roles in the meantime and ping them every once in a while to check in.

Yeah the economy is bad and holidays. Might be just waiting.

It could be an ongoing internal restructuring. I gather that belt tightening is going across industries in the UK. It's best if you apply for other positions to hedge yourself in the event they decide not to hire you.

What is this news on divestiture? Is DT also doing something like EY?!

What do you mean by history repeating itself?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
