Need some advice. I started prepping around Dec for interviews networked hard. Secured bcg, OW and lek interview. Covid happened, BCG pushed back. Round 2 with ow and lek pushed. I’m currently employed at KPMG. Do I just wait it out or continue networking and looking for opportunities? I’m open to global roles, I am in Canada now. Just heartbreaking and I know I’m not alone.. rotten timing. :(

I would suggest to try to move to another member firm after Covid calms down. I think it will be easier to transfer within the network than finding a job at a different firm and the culture is very different from member firm to member firm. Also, if you are open to relocating further away, you might not have to wait as long since it seems that we are bouncing back a bit earlier in some European countries and will thus probably start hiring again earlier

Definitely depends on country and service line. Scandinavia and Netherlands should be fine with English for most advisory departments. Audit is tricky no matter what due to IFRS, US GAAP, local GAAP. DACH Region without German is hard although it can be done if they really want you. And the more tech focused you are the easier this is in my experience. Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, France) probably not possible without speaking and writing the local language fluently.
Also some departments are definitely no go without speaking the local language for example healthcare/infrastructure/public sector teams in most of Europe as you work with government clients which normally require local language

Wait it out and try again post covid. Nothing happening now anywhere.

They pushed the interview or the offer?

Interview, had not started the process just had my interview date. I completely understand why.

Why is "I'm in Canada now" important to this situation? Trying to understand what you're trying to achieve?

OP you started consulting business of your own?

What practice in KPMG, if you don’t mind disclosing?
