Just had an interview for an absolute dream job and I’m pretty sure I tanked it. Anyone else getting an early start on their weekend drinking?

Hey, don’t give up! You probably did better than you think you did. But, a glass of vino is never a bad idea anyway!

Thanks! I’m usually pretty good at interviews, but I think I just really want this particular job and I let the nerves get the better of me. Here’s hoping that read as “enthusiastic” instead of “nervous stammering weirdo.” Cheers!

That’s a normal feeling. I’ve had better outcomes from interviews where I thought I came off as a total idiot (my normal self) than the ones where I thought I nailed it.

That happened to me, and I got the opportunity. Sometimes it’s really all in your head 😊

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
