My friend has been waiting for 2 weeks after applying to strategy& with a referral. Is it safe to assume that they are not getting an interview?

I wouldn’t say “safe to assume” until it’s been a month tbh

I had two referrals for PwC, the consulting one was denied in three days and the tech one was denied after four months and on phone interview. The big four has wide ranges.

They are probably swamped with campus recruiting atm. Unless your friend applied for entry level or intern positions, should wait longer in my opinion

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs

I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.
