I was referred for a Senior Associate role at BCG and received a reply following my application that they’re still “defining hiring needs for 2023” and to keep in touch. Is this a soft rejection or is there a BCG hiring freeze at the moment?

You were good enough for the usual bar, but given potential hiring cuts, you might not make the bar this year.

Hi all,
Need some advice.
I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers.
But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package.
Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?

I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
