I had an interview that went “ok”, far from great. Has anyone received an offer after an average to slightly below average interview? How did you feel after the interview? I really want this role but can’t stop thinking about how I may have missed my opportunity.

Yes. Thought I royally screwed up the case at my current place and I got the job and am still here 11 years later. A few years ago I applied somewhere else and had a similar thing happen in round 1 and they called me back for round 2. Oddly enough I thought round 2 went very well and I didn't get it lol

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more.

I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role. I was told all interviewers were really happy with me so she would be glad to arrange a reevaluation for the new role(I was interviewed by 2 Sr. Managers & an MD for Sr. Consultant role and will have to take another round with a partner for the managerial position). I tried following up thrice after, no response.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
