I was told I had passed all interview stages for senior consulting role at Deloitte London in September, but they couldn’t give me an offer yet as there was some sort of internal reviews going on. The hiring manager calls me every month usually to say there isn’t much to update but that they have agreed to my salary expectations, and that I might be getting an offer in February/March but they can’t 100% guarantee it - is anyone else placed in this weird on hold/limbo situation?

It’s common. I had the same thing happen when I was being hired at Accenture. I was like if I failed the interview just tell me. They’re like we’re not your buddies here to make you feel better. If we didn’t like you we wouldn’t have kept in touch. And here I am 4 years later.

This happened to me with deloitte consulting in dc but I had another offer so I only waited a month before I accepted that. I was following up weekly and they just kept saying “No updates”.

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?
