What is your application to interview ratio? I'm putting in application after application, and I rarely hear anything back. I think for 20 or so applications I submit, I get one interview if I'm lucky. The odds have not been in my favor lately...

Application to interview is about 25-1 so far. It is a grind, but you just have to keep at it. Gov employment has changed in recent years and some of the perks are no longer around.

While they might not be in your favor, I'd still take your odds over mine. I think I'm closer to 40:1 lately. It's a nonstop grind.

Mine is 1:1,000

The more you give interviews, the nearer you are to the finish line. Let's think like that.

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?
