Just completed phone screening for PwC Senior Manager role. Thought it went great. Interviewer gave me time frame of next steps with interview and possible hire both being almost a month away (October) due to them hiring at each quarter. Could this be a nice way of saying that I’m not moving forward or I’m just overthinking it?
Honestly greatly appreciated!

No, it’s all good. You’re overthinking about it. Things are slow right now.

I truly appreciate that. She was going over the day to day, went over the team in my local office that I’ll be a part of and even gave me a detailed overview of the next steps in the interview (even including me not having to take on a case study) and the part of it being pushed back by a month had me extremely worried

We move slow. I interviewed someone in august and they’re not starting until October. Just the way we do things.

That definitely aligns with what the recruiter was saying! I’m definitely glad to hear that in a way. Thank you!

All good, hiring process is very slow here. Good luck for your interviews

Understood. I truly appreciate it!

Which group is it? Different groups have different timelines….Assurance and CMAAS are generally faster …..Risk and Reg/ IA, business process generally slower

It will be under the deals transformation department under the more generalist pillar. I hope that answers your question based on the information the recruiter had given me

Just got a call back from the recruiter today that they want to move forward with me. Based on my experience, I will be moved into the generalist pillar but time frames for next rounds are still the same. Definitely glad to hear that!

Has anyone here use a resume writer before to help them rewrite their resume? I feel like trying to write about myself and be objective isn't the easiest thing. Get me in front of a hiring manager for an interview and have no problem talking about myself and my history. Getting it on paper and past the ATS is a different story.

If so, anyone you would recommend? Anything to look out for or suggest?
