HCL Technologies offer being delayed and recruiter keeps saying that there's a problem with their "Offer release portal system." I have already stated my issues with relocating until after I have the offer signed and ready. The project is supposed to start on the 19th and I'm supposed to join before, or on that date. It's already coming up soon and I don't have the official offer so that I can confidently start the relocation process. Has anyone else recently dealt with this?

Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

@ Principal1 - Believe it or not, some of us do know the techno-functional pieces and are very savvy when it comes to account management. One may be a great developer or solution architect but poor at managing the project at a holistic level--great PMs will be able to see things from beginning to end. I mean, don't get me wrong, won't disagree with ya but just saying.
Understand their vision of how their practice will evolve not only from a sector standpoint but also from a technology perspective (data, PPM platform, cloud platforms, etc) and what part they will play in these deployments. The day of the traditional PMO work is dying and hoping they can explain what they are doing to stay ahead of the "game"...
LOL everyone is trying to spin their practice into strategy - PM strategy? Wtf is that?
Do you really want to join EY?
I don't get PPM. Why do we need a practice for people who do spreadsheets, project plans and reports? Accounting heritage at it's worst.
^what this guy said, plus on top of that we throw a ton of resources for these groups to conceive useless shit they try to ram down our throats as efficient tools
@ KPMG - If you're lucky, yes. Often rare unless you're at the partner level. I got lucky and was able to be a part of the solutioning process, but you will usually be working within the project management space.
Why do you want to leave for EY?
PPM is a very close-knit group. Great partners. But do you really want to pursue a career in PMO and being a PM? You'll be less involved in process improvement and solutioning. If you're okay with that, go for it. Ask about PPM's strategy given the changing market and needs of projects.
That's what I'm afraid of that this role is all basically project management and im not sure that's what I wanna do. Recruiter made it seem like PM strategy.
Damn I'm blown
@ OP - PMs come from all over the firm (sector, FSO, so on...) not just the PPM practice so hey, take what I say with a grain of salt! Like I said, the partners I met from PPM are wonderful and talented. I would work for them without hesitation.
Is PM project management, or product management ? If project management, how is it strategy ?
