I wanted to post this for those who see and those who need to see: I, along with you, feel dejected by my current position. But I went to an absolutely no name school and could not find a job out of college for 5-6 months. Randomly got an interview request from PwC for a position I never applied for through LinkedIn. All this to say, everyones path is different and yours will work out how it should. Everything happens for a reason, assuming you always put your best foot forward. May we succeed.

May we succeed, God willing. Congrats on your hard word. That's a lot to go against in the elitist profession of consulting

I was out of college and rejected few jobs offers that I got due to salary… after 18 months of struggle, landed in a fantastic job with a mid size company; after that I bought a brand new car, condo, investment property, paid for my marriage all with cash within 8 to 9 years. Eventually joined a Big 4.

Lessons learned: when you start your career, don’t focus only on salary, work towards getting real life experience. You can always change your employer. Remember “This too shall pass”, until I read this post I was not remembering initial days of my struggle. (Note: mine was not that big struggle, because of the financial help I was getting from my parents. I know of several others who really struggled to get a break in their career)

All the best.

Congrats. But help from your parents should be mentioned the first paragraph

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened during the past year searching. Looking for a SC level role within healthcare/public sector consulting firm. I know the job scene is a bit miserable currently but if anyone in the bowl is aware of a role I would love to have a chat.

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.
