Hi I’m a current Graduate student, hoping to get my foot in the door for Deloitte Healthcare Consulting, Accenture CDP, or EY specifically within Chicago Offices. Is there anyone open to connecting and speaking on their experience being hired? I have previous experience working prior to my degree so hoping to get insight on how I can best score an interview. If you’re also open to providing a referral that would be a bonus!

Any one familiar with comp for a Portfolio Associate roll at PIMCO on their mortgage backed securities team? I’m looking at an offer and want make sure I’m in line with the average comp for the company and industry. Only 4 months of experience and offer is 98k w/ 10-20% bonus plus 15k relo/ sign on. Looking at Glassdoor, bonuses seem higher than quoted by the hiring manager. (No written offer yet they say they’re still working on it)

I did fall recruiting in 2017 for IBM and they rejected me April 2019. After I graduated 🙃🙃
A company that doesn’t reply back to let you know (one way or the other) is showing you upfront how they value their employees and how they communicate in general.
I'm guessing it's just a volume thing, but I agree. Even a generic rejection letter would be better than nothing.
To avoid potential discrimination lawsuits. You can’t get sued for discriminate hiring processes if you never formally dinged them.

Recruiters get swamped with interviews and forget people, it’s the same way in sales. Best advice is to never stop applying, they don’t care about you, you don’t have the job until you have an offer letter and you’ve started your first day. Keep applying and never stop interviewing.
You mean you emailed them and they haven't responded? This is so tough because sometimes they are still deliberating and don't get back to you because the decision hasn't really been made.
Yep. Volume. Dozens of candidates with different schedules, lose track of the ones you are iffy about....send out some automated email when you remember...
I’m thinking even a generic rejection letter is nicer than letting the candidate hang in suspension
Probably because most HR departments immediately move on from candidates that they do not want to hire. I know it sounds awful, and I hate being ghosted in job applications myself, but that's just what really happens sometimes. Good luck!
That's pretty hardcore
This is a good proposal to submit to the mayor/governor. They’re doing some encouraging things for employment, like requiring employers to disclose pay on job postings
A company I applied in October 2020 just called to ask me in for interviews… you’d think HR system should be better after all these days of crying for talents.
