Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Today, I received another note from the same talent POC informing there has been no progress in terms of business approval and that, I might have to wait another week to hear back. I am also very active on LinkedIn these days and noticed they posted the same role like a week ago. My questions 1) Why would they open a role while Talent tells me otherwise 2) Should I call this out and in what way? I have spent so much of time and effort and now it feels it was all for nothing. Extremely upset about the whole situation

Big 4 is strange like that. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Keep interviewing elsewhere and following up here aggressively. Verbal offers don’t really mean anything at the big 4

I got ghosted twice lol Not sure what to do big 4 as well and I really need the career change. Im sorry with you in spirit.

Want to apply to EY business consulting let me know

I've seen people say that if you're underpaid, you can't just outline your contributions because your manager needs a compelling reason for finance to bump your salary and they need to prove you're underpaid. So how do I present my case that I'm being underpaid other than "my friends make this amount in their role" or "Glassdoor says this" when finance can find rebuttals for these arguments?
