On a recruiting call. Apparently PwC final round interviews will be virtual from now on 🙄 cost-cutting

We'd save a ton of money if we got rid of our recruiters.

We need to fire a bunch of partners and directors who are costing us more money and than making it. The state of the firm right now really makes me sad. Now some PwC idiot will come and say how his practice is doing great but the point is that the firm overall is doing horribly right now

This is a terribly short-sighted and wrongheaded decision, in my opinion. We may lose out on candidates who are turned off by the impersonal nature of their final interview, especially if some of our competitors continue to meet with candidates in person. In addition, we may wind up extending offers to people who we would have turned down had we met with them in person and been able to read their body language and look into their eyes as they answer questions. It is very difficult to get a sense for a person over a television monitor.

Virtual interviewing is good for 1st round. For final, it should be in person.

Deloitte is doing the same thing. I'm helping out with recruiting. This year for campus recruiting we had the first round in person and then I just heard that the final round will be on HireVue. Talked to someone on the recruiting team and they said "no real point in doing another in-person interview since we've already met them in person last round"

I was just like "wut" 🤔

Virtual interviews suck ass and I suck ass at doing them lol

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
