I didn't reply to an email 12 hrs ago scheduling an interview for a few weeks out. Instead of waiting for a reply on my availability, the recruiter scheduled it for me instead. How many flags is that?

I get hit up from buyside head hunters and get submitted to firms. Is it faux pas to network with the PE firms after the headhunters tell me they’re hiring?

Hi fishes,
I got interviewed for
CGI , CGI Communications Inc, 2nd February- technical round and 7th February- Managerial round. Till now, I didn't get any update from HR team. I tried calling Hr and dropped mails about the status. But she is not picking calls or replying to my mails. I tried calling the the person who setup L1 interview, she told I was not selected. What should I consider now, is my candidature on hold or should I think I got Rejected without any confirmation from HR team.

Do you say you're a "consultant" in your resume? A lot of firms (Deloitte, Protiviti, etc) officially call RA jobs as such, but it feels incredibly lame/misleading to call myself that during a job search when I know we're really just a different kind of auditor...

Most of the jobs I’m interested in applying to want 3-5 years of prior experience and I’m just under two years practicing. How am I supposed to move out into a different area when they all want people with much more experience? Is 3-5 the default that firms ask for but aren’t always strict with?
