What’s the Big4 policy for candidates to apply to different groups after a rejection? Recently interviewed for a group that’s not from my background and wasn’t selected but now trying to selectively apply for a couple of jobs where I have a great match. Is there anything like a cool off period that I should consider?
Deloitte EY PwC KPMG
Just don't mention that you interviewed with another group. Lie if you need to. There's no way they can find out. In reality, big4 companies are a bunch of groups together where no one cares about what other groups do
Thank you

I don't think there is one if its a different groups. They have different pipelines. I have a friend who interviewed for both PwC and S& at the same time. He only got one offer so I don't know if they talked but its always okay to reach back out and ask the recruiter you worked with if you had one and inquire on the policy.
Thank you
When you apply to Deloitte or EY, they assess you for the specific position. Getting a No from one role does not in the least automatically disqualify from other (unless you are a walking red flag 🚩).
As D1 said above, don’t mention in another interview that you applied to other roles. Chiefly because it’s irrelevant.
Good luck 🍀
Thank you
KPMG only allows one active opportunity pursuit at a time. I ran into that when I boomeranged.
Thank you K1.
I interviewed for 3 jobs at D at once. Nobody noticed because it was 3 separate pipelines. Granted, I withdrew from the other 2 after I got the offer I wanted... I wouldn't want to turn one practice down and have to tell them I went to another practice.
