What are you recruiting for? Full-time mba?

Top 30 school. It’s reputable for the area, but it’s not like top notch or whatever. My outcome will be “above average” for the school, and I recruited very hard

Which MBA you’re at really matters in a down economy. If it isn’t M7 or at least T10, you’re likely out of luck.

Hi all,

I joined
KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.

I am unable to figure out what can be done now.

Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)

How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks!
