Recruiters are simultaneously the best and the worst people on earth. One from the NYtimes reached out to me about 5 months ago saying I’d be a perfect fit. I’ve since sent him about 4 emails asking for more info and he completely disappeared.

I have no advice, I just feel your pain

You’d have better luck reaching out to the original recruiter. They might connect you to their replacement or find you something at the agency they left for. Sorry bud, shitty situation. Good luck

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Anyone up for going through my resume?
Help will be so much appreciated :)

I joined in Accenture as level 8. Prior to joining, I was apporached by a project, and they seemed to not convince with my lack of knowledge about the role hence they dropped me even after contacting couple of times. Now I have got call from another one and they also seem to be not fully sure because my last role was very different. My question is how difficult is it to get a project in Accenture? Will this interviews continue? Also, what are the chances of me getting a suitable role?
