Inb4 all the unnecessary ‘PMP is useless’ comments

Read the Agile Practitioner’s Guide front to back and watch Andrew Ramdayal’s video on Servant Leadership and you’ll be good 👍

The PMP exam prep from Rita Mulcahey did well for me. If you can get through the practice questions, you can pass the test. Just keep in mind the test is based on theory, not necessarily how you want to apply concepts, so you're really just memorizing answers and concepts that have a particular order or stratification. The way the PMP views steps in waterfall is very prescriptive and was my biggest memorization item.

Take a mock test, get the results, read every answer and analyze why it’s wrong and make your mindset adapt to the correct answers. I studied for 1 week with this method.

Did 4 rounds of interviews. Last 2 with 2 partners at EY. Haven’t heard back even after 1 month. One partner even commented “you will be a good addition to the team”. Hiring manager gave EY email after her interview call with me.
Fast forward two weeks, no communication. Recruiting was surprised that I was still chasing for this position, month later. Got to know last week that hiring team was continuing to interview candidates. Should I drop the idea to get hired? EY hasn’t rejected me yet.

I was told to expect a written offer from one of the Big4 soon, however the HR team has stated that they are experiencing a back-log and will get back to me as soon as they hear back. I have been following up for the past 3-4 weeks and can’t help but feel nervous that it won’t fall through. Has anyone been in this situation with the Big4? Can they ghost you if they have already given you an offer (via phone) and you have settled compensation and start date with them verbally?

Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it?
