Undergoing salary review right now. Is it worth it to interview with companies I'm not really interested in joining just to produce an offer letter that shows market value?

If you aren't interested in taking the job, I wouldn't. You run the risk of your current employer walking away from the table.

They might call your bluff, if you get an offer and go to resign. Even if you don't get an offer, they might learn that you are interviewing and hold that against you.

I am working with my CC to undergo a similar review as I am drastically under MKT value. How are you approaching ?

I am curious - how did you determine market value/range at your level within Accenture? I have had managers+ tell me my rate is low but then my MD said I am in range. 92K MC C2in NYC...

Also OP, best of luck to you.

I got rejected for an interview from Big 4 NY Audit, even had referrals from Manager + level people. 3 years w/ audit senior at mid size firm, 2 years fed tax at big 4, and 1.5 years Internal Audit healthcare. Currently self employed for a year to work on investing. Do I literally need a partner level referral to get back into Audit? I thought there was an accountant shortage.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
