I began interviewing with a company in late January—first with HR, then the Accounting Manager, who asked that I meet with the Controller and owner. After delays due to travel, I completed a three‑day AP case study and was told next steps were coming. Weeks later, I’m still hearing the owner is traveling. It’s now mid‑March, and I’m tired of having to keep following up. Should I continue to follow up?

How much do you want the role, and is it a smaller company? Delays happen. If they’ve been responsive this far, it might be worth seeing where things end up. If it’s you constantly reaching out, I’m not sure they’re serious.

That is something to consider. It could be a one-off situation, or it could be how the entire company runs. The interview is your first impression of them, should be taken seriously on their side.

At this point you're so invested that you might as well keep following up. If things have been going on for six weeks, it's understandable that you'd be getting fed up with it. Still, you might as well see it through at this point, unless you get an offer elsewhere.

I am hoping you are still applying for other roles at other companies. If not, you should be. Don't stop searching until you accept a job offer.

I have been in various AP roles over the last 10-15 years, and have never had to complete an AP case study.

I haven’t stopped applying. This is the first time I had a case study. Analyzed a workbook of AP issues.

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
