I interviewed 5 rounds for a mid-size consulting firm's data team concluding in April & was doing monthly check-ins with the recruiter so that they can align a client with my resume before hiring me. The recruiter found a great match & in late July I had an interview with a client's point of contact to ensure I was a good fit before sending my resume over which she felt I was. I haven't heard back from the firm even though I was given a tentative August start date. Is it a gone opportunity?

Not a good sign, but definitely worth a call to the recruiter to understand exactly what’s going on. You need information to make sure you do what’s best for you and yours. Ghosting is lame

Hmmm. Well we are in mid Sept., when is the last time you spoke with them? Either they didn't sell the job, or the client wasn't in board. Neither is a good sign.
Ditto if they haven't been in communication with you. What do they say when you call?

On a separate note, if you interviewed with the client before being officially hired, what is stopping you from reaching out directly to the client and getting a job there? You can do the same work, the client could pay less having you directly on staff, and you could potentially make more. Just cut out the middle man?

I think they just showed the client a blind resume, OP didn't actually interview with the client.

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.
