The exit interview is all about altruism. There is no upside for you and potential for downside. The I ly reason to share if you care about the company you are leaving or the people that are still there

Agreed with SM1- goal for an exit interview is not to provide feedback but to ensure you don’t burn any bridges.

Just thank them profusely and tell em you liked working there even if you hated it. When asked why you are leaving phrase it as the opportunity of a lifetime came up and you owed it to yourself to take the leap. Some exit interviews might try to press for specifics- keep repeating versions of this line.

I trashed my last manager at the exit interview (kept it professional, but thorough and with verifiable examples). Told HR the team was miserable and I was just the first person to quit proactively but everyone’s looking. Another person left 4 months later and then the manager got fired. Sometimes the right thing happens...

Constructive criticism should always be given.

I don’t get this. Why can’t you give constructive feedback without burning bridges? Isn’t the whole pt so the the firm can work towards making things better?

I’m a first year analyst in RFA with deloitte and have really hated my experience so far. Both my projects have been a lot longer than they stated and I have learned 0 skills from either of them.

I have a couple interviews in an MBB role and a Tier 2 tech but I also want to keep applying to other companies just in case. Does anyone know companies that are in a hiring frenzy right now?
