The hiring process is dated and exhausting

a. No less than 3-5 interviews. If you’re in tech, that final “on-site” is likely a test or presentation equivalent to hours of work.
b. Then, the thank you notes to eeeevvveerrryyyooonnee you interviewed with
c. The anxiety-ridden waiting game
d. The offer + negotiations
e. References
f. Background check

WTFFFF, ya’ll owe me $$$ for my time

You forgot the part where they don't dump your resume out of the system after 6 months like they say they will, thus causing you to receive a call years later from an HR person, asking if you're still interested in that entry level position you applied for back when you still believed that student loan interest was calculated according to a formula and not based on extra terrestrial arcana.

Eh this process seems to have come from tech/start ups? Interviewing at agencies was never so laborious until I started reading about it in tech.

Google did a study or survey of the process and decided maybe no more than 4 interviews (iirc) are required, anything more is diminishing returns and people are kinda agreeing with each other.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role. Would it be a good career decision for someone coming from GRC firms like Kroll, Control Risk or Exiger? I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.
