My boss is totally unhinged. Today he divided a stack of resumes into two, threw one pile away and said:

"we can't work with unlucky people”

Wait, why is that actually kind of brilliant and hilarious? It genuinely feels like this is how it happens sometimes. I'll be more than qualified for a job and never hear back.

It literally explains so much. I hadnever seen anything like it lol

I know it's a joke but this is basically what ATS systems do except with keywords instead of luck. Wrong format? Rejected. Missing one buzzword? Rejected. Applied 3 minutes after the algorithm decided it had enough candidates? Rejected. At least the unhinged boss is honest about it being random 😂

There is a brutal honesty to it that makes it more human than the stupid ATS systems

Hahahaha. I hate it but it’s pretty funny

That’s insane!!! 🤣

I can just imagine this. I hope he never finds himself out of work. He'll probably recall this moment when he starts his job search, and nobody calls or emails.

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!

There is this big bank where I'd love to work at, and after several interviews for various positions they end up promoting someone from within, even thou I understand it and think it’s good they promote their people, it left me feeling like I'm just being used to comply with the process.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
