Many times. I proactively reach out to the recruiters to let them know I applied and that I am very interested in learning more about the position. That has always worked for me (as opposed to JUST applying. I noticed if I don't reach out to the recruiter I have far less success in getting interviews. You have to show that you're interested)

Yep, Publicis.

Yes, I have too - a couple of times. Once at an agency (not my current role) and another was a media owner. I think LinkedIn the best place to look for a new job these days!

Yes, several times, and I've gotten a job out of it once so far. Also, gotten a call back and/or interview many times by applying directly to posting on company's own website!

Yup yup current job was off of LinkedIn

Yes how I found all my jobs

Yup, Leo

Hi guys. How mych does it usually take to get an offer after last interview in EY?

What questions should senior associates be asking to get a better assessment of partnership prospects? For context, I’m eligible this year as an 8th year, but it’s more common to make it around years 10-11 at my firm (only equity partners), and I’m trying to determine whether to stick around or lateral before I’m too senior. I’m in a smaller group that historically promotes only one new partner every few years, and there are several others also eligible. Any questions I should avoid asking?

I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
