Using neutral zoom background image for interview - yay or nay (for Deloitte peeps, thinking one of the non-Deloitte branded office ones they provide)? My apt is super small and I don’t want to show that during interview

Hi Everyone, I interviewed at Deloitte Australia last month and as of now there is no update on feedback. Talent point of contact is saying that he is still awaiting feedback from interviewers as there are not responding to him. Should I consider this is as ghost or negative output.

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
