Interviewing for SFMC consultant role with both larger global firms with big enterprise projects and smaller growing firms with more interesting project roles.
Bigger firms are keeping me in the pipeline while smaller wants to hurry and hire me already. Any tips?
I do prefer global for name since I’m an American in Germany but smaller sounds more interesting & higher growth potential.

Unemployed (covid, 2YEO in SFMC Consulting, 5YEO mkting&sales). Not in a rush but don’t want to lose my skills

Take the smaller one now and then evaluate the offer from global once that comes through. Pipeline could mean 1 day from now to few weeks or months.

Go for the offer on your table. The bigger ones might aim for a starting date in 2021 due to ongoing (covid) hiring restrictions.

Thanks! What if hiring restrictions weren’t in the picture. Bigger consultancy or smaller ? For a 30 y/o with no such big names on my resume despite good exp. small sounds so interesting but I know the benefits of a global company (ofc cons too but still)
(Btw the 2 big firms got back to me with final interviews - 1 interestingly being PwC)

My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?
