Can’t speak for everywhere but it’s pretty common at PwC. HR will typically know if you have applied for multiple so they will gauge if there is one position that is more suited to your experience, or if one group is in greater need of people. Then at some point in the interview process, they will remove you from one of the applicant pools and have you focus on the other one.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

I recently got an offer to join Deloitte Consulting LLP as an Analyst in Government and Public Services in the Business Technology Solutions profile, based in their Harrisburg office.

The offer was 88k + 12.5k signing bonus.

A friend of mine got the same offer but his offer was 91k + 12.5k signing bonus. Difference is, he’s based in Chicago.
