I was in contact with Big4 recruiter who is semi-responsive at best. But she ghosts every so often, anyone I can talk to about this? We were supposed to schedule a call to discuss opportunities, but she never responded. Seemed quite unprofessional.

There are so many stories about recruiters ghosting people that what you're saying doesn't sound at all uncommon. Recruiters have a way of turning up and talking a really good game and then vanishing before anything comes to fruition. There are good recruiters and people have had great experiences with them, but the haphazard ones like you describe seem to taint the whole field.

Most Big 4 recruiters are overloaded. I’d send one more succinct follow-up and call it after that. You can try to go around them, a different recruiter, apply on the career site, if you aren’t getting anywhere anyway.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.
Last tech + managerial round was on 10th Nov. Got HR call on 17th Nov. Told my expected package and she didn't seem to have any issue.

Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?
