Have to be completely honest with you, in these situations you have to remember the world doesn’t revolve around you. They have tons of other offers they are working on at the same time. I’m not being a jerk, I had to remind myself a few times when I was in the same boat.

Fair enough. I have an internal opportunity as well and I shared this with recruiter too. Since it’s internal, it’s more informal, no interviews needed but more like if I’m interested or not. Puts me in a pickle as I don’t want to lose this internal opportunity in case the approvals fall through (I read this happens more often than not at Big4).

like

It means it not really an offer- the verbal wouldn’t or shouldn’t have been made unless there was approval - in this market they should be turning it around in 24 hours or less if there is a real role - or their recruiting organization or processes are a mess

Took me sometime as well at EYP. They are hiring like crazy so it's been really slow.

Accenture has really slowed on hiring, EY could be doing the same

Could be. After my interviews (early April) was told even though I did well, approval was an issue and went into a holding pattern. Then they came back saying they are ready and would like to offer. Asked my salary prefs, assigned office etc.

Im a new hire at ey. The written offers are taking awhile across the board. They changed hr systems so its a mess rn

They changed systems a year ago - the legacy mgmt of recruiting ops is the issue just hapless in the most competitive market and the sr hr ops people who should know better let l them skate while it hurts talent acquisition

Question for moms. I’m getting married next year and have several close family members that will have babies ages 8-11 months old by then. What are some ways I can support the moms and make it an enjoyable experience for them? We have a separate room at the venue that I was thinking could be offered to the parents to use, or potentially hiring a babysitter for them (either at the venue or back at the hotel). I would love for the families to be able to come, as it is out of town.

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?
