Probably a "maybe", so they will string you along in case the first choice says no.

EY HR blows. They make slow look efficient. They emailed me an offer, but never actually called to tell me I was going to receive an offer. Turned it down based on that as recruiting is supposed to be best foot forward. For they can't get this right, it likely won't improve from there.

I heard back the day of the interview. But my sister, who also is at KPMG, didn't hear back for a week and a half--had pretty much given up hope. Reached out just to follow up, ended up getting an offer. Obviously one of their first choices turned it down before she got it, but hey, once you're in, you're in!

Hmm I felt really good about my Friday interview and haven't heard back yet, granted its only been one full business day since then. Where did you interview OP?

Recruiter has been super slow throughout the entire process though. Didn't send me travel booking number until like 3 days before interview.

Took me a week and a half. Reach out if you haven't already.

Is it too premature to reach out? @P3 did you land the role/which firm?

K2 is absolutely right!

I heard back same day for K so this is bizarre to me. I'm thinking I'll wait till Friday to reach out. At that point it will be two weeks.

What role are you moving from and into OP?

I'm thinking the same thing 😒

Side note: this is like the third or fourth month in the process haha

I got my offer the same day but the process took 3 months after they were the ones who reached out to me!

It took 7 months for me

I got a call from KPMG HR for the role of Associate consultant in research team, When she asked me about the expected ctc, I think I quoted less than the market standards but since I am underpaid currently so the amount I quoted was 40-45% hike on my fixed. I have experience of 2.9years
Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.

Hey guys,

I have an interview at Microsoft next week for the role of SharePoint consultant. What should my preparation be like?

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Disappointed and ashamed that this wasn’t a full rebuke of Trumpism but all the signs point towards a narrow win.
