I have an internal transfer offer to FDD but am also interviewing with PWC. Does it make sense to leverage the fact that I already have an offer in my PWC interviews? My thinking is it could be a pro to show one firm already thinks I am a good candidate for FDD coming from audit, but I know my internal transfer salary is way lower than what I would be offered by PWC so don’t want to unintentionally open that can of worms and lowball myself.

The answer is always yes. There’s no downside

I think I would be cautious since PWC might view it as “ why would we give him an interview if he has an internal offer and partners gonna try to sway him to stay “. One of the partners I interviewed with told me that if he gave me an offer would I run back to my firm and tell em I’m leaving and for them to match it, I told him I wouldn’t do that but it’s the first thing I did lol

likefunny

The correct answer is “give me an offer right now and I’ll sign” lol

Generally, they will ask why you don’t transfer internally. Example Answer: I have expressed interest in transferring a few months ago but I am not satisfied with the progress made to date. I have begun to look externally to avoid jumping through hoops internally.

Yeah but I’ve had spotty experiences with them. I was going through the process 8 months ago which I cancelled and it took them almost three weeks to call from referral so definitely isn’t consistent

Yea, I leveraged having an internal transfer at PwC to get into EY. PwC wanted me to stay an extra busy season and with EY I had them take me immediately

I would maybe mention you have an offer but not that it is for an internal move. I think your story is easier if you are looking to transfer services, internally is proving difficult, I have received an offer from Deloitte, and I’m hoping to see how this process goes and my feeling for the company before I make a decision?

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
