My friend was invited to an event at a PE firm I would really like to work for and I wasn’t. Any advice on getting in when invites are already going out without my name on them?

Ask the HH directly. You might not be on their radar but they would likely be more than happy to have another person interested from a target firm like McK. Don’t just show up though lol. That is not a good look…

Could be HH related

Go. Figure it out while there. Don’t let that stop your dream. Only pompous snobs haven’t had to fight their way to get where they want.

100% agree. Get yourself that invite. Either by getting your friend to bring you, or by directly asking the HH

Did you or your friend go to a target? That might be the reason

Which firm? Might be as easy as emailing an associate or HR and asking for an invite

I spoke to the headhunter about my interest in the firm and got the invite too, thanks for the advice!

Hi All,

I got an offer from Accenture and joining date is 18 October. This is into CN. Lately I got a temporary employment contract from Dubai with a very decent pay.
Due to some personal urgencies, I am under confusion to pursue the offer at Dubai or not!
Can I ask a counter from Accenture to increase my pay and a hard genuine try to send me onsite in 6 months?
Or will it backfire and they close my current offer? What's the situation in Accenture as the market is snaily in recent months!
