Petition to change bowl picture to this

Hi All,
Looking to make the move from working in industry to big4 and was curious as to what level and pay I might be worth?
I have 10 years experience out of uni, as well as completed CPA and MBA. I have a experience in managing entire finance function of small/medium entities, but most notably solid corporate finance experience/strategy leading refinance exercises, debt raising, hedging/treasury strategy etc…Would be looking for something in deal advisory / M&A / CFO advisory etc….thanks Deloitte EY PwC @
Hyderabad or Banglore which one to chose.

I submitted 50 applications between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Amazingly, some of those companies are just now reaching out to make first contact. So far, from that block I've gotten:
13 screener interviews (not including third party recruiter screens)
3 of them ghosted me after the screen
10 requests for additional interviews (turned down 3 of them)
2 rejections after follow-up interviews
2 ongoing interview processes
3 offers (one of which was ridiculously low)
All told, I've probably done 40 hours of interviews in December/January. The two with the longest interview processes were my two rejections. It's exhausting.

I think more than 100.
probably 100
Probably like 150
These answers are somehow both encouraging (since I’m not alone in not getting offers after 30+ apps) and discouraging (given how many apps it takes people) at the same time
Only a handful with two offers, but that was 2021.
