PwC recruiter continuing to push me for a lateral role based purely on my current title at another big 4, despite my clear indications (and quals) for the next role up. Any thoughts?

K2, I'm not longer staying at K, that much is decided. So if PwC offers the right role, I'm going to take it

Pwc is more prestigious than kpmg. Most of the big 4 will only offer a lateral move. Money might be better so worth considering.

Lol @ the prestige bit. They are low balling, I know as much

Don’t leave - just because of the culture of nothing else. PWC is a far more cut-throat culture.

Hi Fishes,

I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
