Literally just happened to my friend couple hours ago! Interviewer canceled her interview 10 minutes before the call.

I got the email that the position was filled 7 min into my supposed interview 🙃

this happened to my friend with Accenture! when she told me I was shocked and didn’t know this was a thing - so unprofessional and waste of a candidates time to not even let them finish process

Lol it’s a waste of their time to keep them going through a process that’s already done because someone else got the job. I think you’re confused!

We often only have a certain number of approved slots. Typically we know we’ll likely grow or need to replace people who leave so we try to maintain good relationships with folks we can’t hire right now.

Ya, this happens all the time, and not just at consulting firms. Companies are always interviewing multiple candidates for a role. Sometimes they decide they found the right one while you’re still mid stream in the process. It’s just how it goes.

Yep, when the perfect candidate comes along.

This is a thing everywhere, not just in consulting

Given the attrition rate in consulting right now, it should be rare.

I am not from big4 or mbb, hence the switch is tricky as recruiters do get lot of switchers from these firms on a daily basis

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I learned that someone we just hired, in the same team, 1 level lower, came in making 20k more than me. This role is based in SF, and I'm in the midwest.

I have my master's, two years with the company, and was recently promoted last quarter.

I feel some way about this, and I'm wondering if I should bring this up with my manager? I'm grateful for the raise they gave me and the promotion last quarter, but I don't understand how someone at a lower level can be making more? I'm I being greedy?
