Should I wait till after 10/1 to apply to a KPMG Advisory job? A week plus one day away. My experience is getting rejected after a few days of applying during August and early September. I just want to see if it actually makes a difference before crossing the firm off my list…

Yeah throw your hat in the ring after 10/1 if you want a fair shake

What?

Reject is normally after two days. I have a referral so I apply through the talent community portal.

You also get your on time adjustment on 11/15. I see so many people do this, and it makes zero sense. If you want to leave, leave in January. From now until after the holidays we have so much time off that you won’t work thst much and you’ll lose all this PTO.

Sit back and enjoy and leave after December.

I’m assuming this advice is for people who currently work at KPMG? I don’t work in consulting right now.

Just because you’re seeing postings posted does not mean those positions are actively being recruited/hired for.

If you’re receiving a “not selected” notification within a day or two, there’s likely either a mismatch in your experience and what’s required or how you are reflecting it. Applying again and again with the same experience to the same job isn’t going to yield a different result.

Very encouraging response for someone who’s just trying to step into consulting from an untraditional field. Thank you so much. I’ll cross KPMG off my list.

Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!
