which agencies are hiring juniors?
Hi all,
I joined KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.
I am unable to figure out what can be done now.
Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)
How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks!

Many teams are not fully honest about rejections because they worry about legal risk, time, and uncomfortable conversations, which is why you so often get vague “fit” feedback even at the final stage. It is reasonable to politely ask for more specific, forward‑looking feedback once, but if they decline or give you something generic, it is rarely worth pushing further.
100%. I agree. Sad but true!
This hits hard. It’s such an emotional rollercoaster to get so close, prep your heart out, and then get brushed off with a vague “not a fit.” In my experience, hiring teams often do have more insight than they share — but due to legal risk or internal culture, they keep things surface-level.
Being rejected on the final round is tough, I bet they mentioned picking someone with a better fit or something? There is also some luck factor going in, for example 2 different engineers in the same department can provide a totally different feedback on the same take home exercise. It is normal to be rejected, and sometimes it is also a learning experience. Don't give up, next time it will be better!
