Interviewed with kpmg a week ago, radio silence since (despite a follow up from me). Fair to assume it’s a no go?

We have a hiring freeze for most of the firm. Just be patient - it will take more time for you to get on board if they can even clear the offer.

I got my offer after 1.5 months. Just be patient 😀

No they called me back a month later

Odd, my experience with the KPMG recruiter was the exact opposite. They were proactive and kept me in the loop, offer in 3 weeks.

What practice?

Supply chain, mgmt consulting for a Canadian office

Same I interviewed back in March :(. Recruiter kept in touch with me up until September.

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
