If I spoke with a big four recruiter Monday and don’t hear anything by end of day Friday does that mean they are no longer interested?

Not at all. Hiring is sooo slow right now! I would follow up. If you really want the job, email them every few days until they tell you no. This is just my personal opinion based off of my recent interactions of getting ghosted by interviewers or HR unless I followed up and really expressed interest. A lot of people are exploring options right now so make sure they know you’re serious about the given opportunity. Best of luck!

Here’s the thing I thought like now would be my time for the big four lol but I actually have an industry interview tomorrow that seems promising really good Glassdoor reviews and reputation

Idk things are far from ideal where I’m at

Ok I emailed the recruiter again. We will see what happens 🤷‍♀️

I don’t know I had a senior manager who knows me fairly well refer me, I meet all the minimum requirements, 🤷‍♀️, I’m interested in it 😆

I have other first rounds lined up. I’m pretty unhappy where I’m at so if I find a better fit I’m jumping

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
