Successful interview @ another big 4 but Partner’s concern is bringing me in at Manager level- currently SC- no word after a week. What’s up?

Well. It’s a drop in prestige so the promotion seems rational

In same boat. I’m not making a move and starting over on my promotion timeline. And I know people are lied to about promotion timeframes to get them in the door. They told me “oh well you’ll get promoted much faster, so don’t feel like you’re starting over.” Yeah right we invented that game.

I want a title too. I have pride, ya know.

Isn’t SC at Deloitte the same as Manager at other big 4s? So the partner wants to demote you?

D1, there are plenty of cases where it would make sense. One example: the company you're at is complete rubbish at the practice you're in and you get an offer at a competitor that is a leader in that area

And the prestige. Cut above the rest of course

K1, Manager takes slightly longer to get to at Deloitte vs. the rest of the Big Four so a first year Manager elsewhere might be the equivalent of an SC about to be promoted to Manager at Deloitte.
Regardless, Deloitte tends to undervalue non-Deloitte experience to the point where it'll even bring people in at a level below where they're at anyway

Maybe they didn’t think you fully qualified for M because you lack experience in xyz area. Perhaps you are great at client work and have experience with leading a team, but lack in BD area. Have you sold anything at your current position?

🤢🤢🤢🤮

I would turn it down. You’ll end up on teams where you’re staffed as an SA / SC with more experience than the homegrown Manager...happened to me at Deloitte and I had to carry my less experienced manager throughout the project.

Had an interview today, for RN OnCall position. This is an extremely difficult position, but I bring not only a preference to work the hours they need but the experience and credentials to qualify for the upper range of the salary (RN, MSN, CHPN, 5 years hospice experience). I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.
