Often times a week unless you try to negotiate, then they slice it to 1 day

1 day or 2

5-10 years

Usually a week. But I would say from personal experience skip the midsize and go big 4.

Yeah, I don't think the name means much. I worked at Deloitte years ago (4 yes total) and when I was looking to leave, had difficulty getting interviews for industry position.

I give someone a week to get back to me on an offer.

Dude 🐠. Heading to Deloitte soon, want to get some better clothes. Maybe 3-4 new fitted suits, trendy but professional. Don’t want to spend a fortune. Any ideas on your favs?

Finally got the call! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 First day on the job.
