Is it normal for an external recruiter to say I cannot apply for any roles at a big4 for next 6 months (since he is currently helping my apply for a role there) - seems excessive ?

Thanks!

I think it’s 6months, but from my exp. they def have an edge in the overall process

But then why not go direct? I don’t see any practical differences on the recruitment side…

Just in my exp- recruiters seem to get feedback’s much faster than applying directly

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing?

None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest
