Yeah lots of non-British citizens on LinkedIn will apply to any random job even if not eligible, somebody who works in recruitment recently told me 90% of their applicants have no right to work in the U.K.

But they are in UK already on some visa or just applying from another country?

I think some of the reposting happens automatically though. I’ve had instances where I was interviewing at advanced stages for a role and it got reposted

We had some 90% of LinkedIn applicants without a UK visa (either international students or not in the UK). The remaining 10% were broadly unqualified for the role. Highly reliant on actual recruiters going out and headhunting qualified people at peer firms

I generally feel like LinkedIn could do better on insights tbf. There are many things I think would be helpful for candidates and should be fairly easy to integrate into the app like salary expectations

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

I have received an offer from PA Consulting , which I think will speed up my development by around 2 years, compared to staying where I am.

I have only been at my current company for 6 months, however I would like to take the offer, how do I approach this?

Perhaps I should hit Asia or US.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
