I signed an offer letter a day late after verbally accepting. I only had 1 day to sign it and recruiter didn't let me know it was going to expire that soon. I am already in the background check/onboarding process. Is this potentially bad? I already emailed the recruiter but still haven't heard back yet.

There's something wrong with the situation that they're only giving you one day. That's duress. If it doesn't work out because of this, you dodged a bullet.

it's a long story. i did have a longer time to reply to the offer but they had to update certain things like compensation & start date. the offer letter itself however gave very limited time to sign

Given how tight the labor market is, I would think the recruiter would give you a second chance to sign it if you'd already verbally accepted

So, it’s been two weeks since the last response from the HR recruiter (they said my resume and tests were shared with the team). Should I send an email? It’s normal that some process take this long, but I’m getting a little anxious.

Hi! I’ve been in the ESG space for nearly 7 years and submitted an app for an ESG Consulting role at PwC. My app was unfortunately rejected. Now, my app is ‘under review’ in the system. Between the time of the rejection and reversal, I’ve made connections with people in the department and the role has been reopened/reposted. Should I reapply using a referral and revamped resume or just try my luck with the application that’s now ‘under review?’ I want to be sure my chances are better this time.

I had my first round of interviews with Mckinsey last Friday. the first case was a disaster but the second case + both of the PEI were quite good. The thing is, my other lead progressed very well, it's also in the Private Equity space, an Investor Relations manager role, boring but good money. they pressed me to go through all the process by the end of the week but I won’t be able to advance much with McKinsey by then…Super stressed, what should I do?
