Hi! I'm currently in a dilemma. I recently got an offer from a company that wants me to give a final answer by Friday AM but I am simultaneously interviewing with KPMG and in the final round waiting for my call with the partner. KPMG is my top choice, but if I don't get hired by KPMG, I don't want to lose this offer. Have any of you accepted an offer and then got an offer from another company that you wanted to work at and left the job that you just started? What other advice do you guys have?

Have you asked from an extension from your current offer? I’d just straight up say you’re in the process of interviewing with other firms and want to carefully evaluate your next opportunity

In a similar situation except I got an invitation to interview for a great firm after accepting another offer. I start in ~2 weeks but really want to see how this other role plays out..

What’s the consequence if you accept this offer, and then flake if KPMG comes through

Worst case, you get blackballed from the original company.

They’re not going to hire ninja assassins to chase you down or a PR firm to stalk and smear you.

Yes-ish. I’ve rescinded my acceptance with Company A to take an offer with company B, after initially taking Company A’s offer. That said, I had not started with Company A by this point.

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager. Offer states up to 30% travel (but was told 20% is more realistic). No further info given such as location of accounts I'd be working on or a baseline other AMs travel. Feels like a red flag. Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

Hi Fishes,

Thanks.

I applied for a job within my unit that I do not qualify for. Now, I have an interview for this job.

Has anyone felt this way?
