They won't care as long as they're interested. Or don't even tell them. Call out sick or an emergency and then quit if you accept your dream job. It just happened here like a month ago. Girl started and worked for a week then quit cuz she got more money elsewhere. Better to quit before you and the firm already invested time in you training.

You already in PwC. Google better be your dream firm!

Guys come on. Let's not be judgmental. We all have our quirks for choosing public accounting anyway. It's a specially group which I am actually interested in. I can't understand why it's such a shocker. Anyway, I'd appreciate answers to my original question instead of the less important focus on the firm I prefer to work for.Thanks 😊

I had given Accenture interview on 5th March and on the same day got an email that I cleared the round then salary discussion also happened. But then they didn't release the offer. In the portal status went to " owing to business reasons we foresee some delay in processing your candidature". Also then after multiple followups got an update from HR that they don't have any requirements for the position. Now it's been more than a month what should I do ? Any suggestions would definitely help.

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities

3 tips I always give to first-time home sellers that make my work easier:

1. Try professional photos. You have one chance to impress possible buyers. Use it wisely.
2. Be flexible with home showings. Maybe your possible buyers won't appreciate your house's potential if there are dogs running around or too many people inside.
3. Respond promptly to a purchase offer. Some people don't have much time to wait for an answer. Be quick and responsive!
