You're technically employed until your severance runs out. Also, Deloitte does not share your reason for leaving.

Trust me my friend! I asked them twice and this is the answer they gave me. I hope I a wrong and you are right :)

New firm can just think that you quit after your final interview because you wanted to be ready for the next job. No need to mention any details even if you are asked.

Agree with above. Best answer and use only if asked

Background check only confirms dates you were employed. If you were laid off post final interview, that will show and there’s no fear of them thinking you lied.

Right- but all that matters is that when you told them you were employed, you were.

It’s fine. You were employed at the date that you submitted your application. What happens afterwards would not be cause for a rescinded offer

like

Yes this is the actual scenario. But between the final interview and the actual offer and background check there is month and a half or so

Cont- pull the offer ? As it is contingent on passing the background check. Really scared

The date that matters is your last day. When you go through the background check make sure to give them the correct last day. Not a problem. If you lie about it, it’s a problem.

Coincidence you started interviewing around this time? Or were there hints that you may be laid off (and what were these indicators)?

There were no hints, I was just tired and felt it’s fine for me to leave for another challenge

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized.

My question is will Google reuse the positive feedback and will it help/add value to this new position?

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.

Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.
