I hear daily about how understaffed we are, but I’m currently interviewing elsewhere. Any tips for telling engagement teams / partners if this works out?

Be truthful. Say it’s them not you 😂

Yep - be direct but professional, even if your employer was neither. Don’t burn your bridges. Also, remember that attrition is part of the big 4 game. You’ll be gone and forgotten like the thousands (millions?) before you.

Don’t close the door to an EY counter offer. Before you accept, talk to a local partner and tell them it’s the money. If you’re good, they will probably at least throw some retention money your way.

On counter be careful to what you are signing up for. They may give a goos counter and sloppy raises for next years

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)
