Why would you leave Deloitte for PwC?

Don't feel bad, I didn't get McK or BCG in the last round either. Worked out fine in the end.

In 2008 for Summer MBA Intern and in 2009 for full time, I had final rounds with McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and I think Oliver Wyman.... 8 interviews and no offers. I had probably a dozen more with less prominent firms that I didn’t get as well (the Recession sucked 😂) . The one offer I had was Deloitte and I’m closing in on Partner. It will work out 👍

How did you have time to have multiple interviews with several companies without raising eyebrows? Friday's?

I really wanted MBB and particularly one of them I wanted real bad. Got to the final interview twice and got dinged. Finally DD came to campus and hired me. I soon realized that I was chasing after the wrong kind of work. I wasnt cut out for business consulting. Tech was my thing and I sailed through the interviews.

So in short, even if you gave your best, maybe they arent really the best places for you. Maybe there is something else in store for you!

Echoing the sentiments of others that it will work out. Many years ago, I interviewed at BCG and McK as a lateral analyst. Bombed BCG first round because I had never done a case. Thought I did well enough in M final round for an offer, but it didn’t happen. Ended up doing MBA and landing at BCG as consultant.

Basically ended up in the post MBA role at exactly the same time I would have otherwise. Got a huge bonus of doing an MBA as well.

hey fishes,

I have applied for this role gCare - Customer Support Senior Associate - Ads Generalist. I'd like to know what type of interviews & rounds will be conducted... what will b the first round for it. hve 2 yrs of experience in Amazon & Accenture.

I started a new job in May. I took a step down from Paralegal to Legal Asst. At my interview I was told that to them the title was interchangeable & I would be doing Paralegal work, especially considering that I knew how to do the heavy Paralegal work. But it’s been 6 months of tedious admin work & when I point out mistakes on pleadings, question case strategy or discovery methods, & suggest more effective ways to get things done, I get these weird looks or the brush off. What can I do?

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?
