How do you handle when one Big 4 firm is trying to move really quickly through the interview process but I am also progressing through the process with an MBB as well that I really want to see through to the end. At the end of the day I don’t want to lose the Big 4 firm if MBB doesn’t come through.

Schedule your interviews slowly

That is a tricky situation. Honestly, it all boils down to proper postponing. If you can't accept the position at the Big 4 until you get your answer at MBB.

Foster all opportunities because multiple opportunities will likely not work out

Ask for extension, if you haven’t gotten MBB by then, accept. If you later get MBB, renege.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people.
