Was contacted by a PwC recruiter last week for an FDD role and was looking to setup some Superday interviews for me. However, haven’t heard back since. I did send a follow up email, and I know the holidays are coming up, but is it common for their recruiting team to move a bit slow?

Should I leave my company? Been here 1.5 years and was told I was getting a management promotion 5-6 months ago.Still no solid traction and they are opening up a req for it 😑no one on the current sales team has ever been promoted (2 years)except our boss who has been promoted 3 times.

Hi Fishes,

I just received an offer from a company I was interviewing at. However, they are rushing things and asking me to sign the offer letter ASAP.

Can you please guide me on how do I use this offer to get an even higher total compensation? Do I accept the offer and then appear for other interviews? Do I tell them to wait? Need guidance.
