How long does it take for big4 to get back to you? I had an introductory interview that I thought went well with two tax partners at a big4 firm about 10 days ago and have sent one follow up email but have not heard back. Are they just taking their time because of busy season or should I be worried they are ghosting me?

It’s busy season for those who work in compliance (9/15, 10/15, etc. deadlines) so it may take a bit to hear back. Good luck, and keep following up!

It's 9/15. Everyone is swamped, I wouldn't worry about it.

What position did you apply for?

I don’t think it’s blanket “big 4” policy on getting back to you. You either need to wait or follow up.
1. They’re too busy right now
Or
2. It didn’t go well and they are not getting back to you because they suck.
