Hey guys,
I just received a call about a week after I had a superday for one of the Big 4 Transaction Services group, but can't decipher what it means. The lady said "The guys really liked you but right now we don't have a spot for you, but the group is talking to their leadership to get additional spots "potentially". They said they would get back to me by early December. Does this mean there is a chance or that they are just beating around the bush and a NO. Also, others I interviewed with from my school said they just got rejected. Anyone know anything?
Thanks
It probably means if a bunch of work comes in as the market gets better, or if the people they extended offers to decline, you are next on the list.
You've been waitlisted in the sense that if there is an opening they'll take you
If they dinged others at your school, they would have told you no if they didn't like you or feel you were right for the job. This is obviously good news.
To expand on what others have said, be proactive in the meantime. You need to show them how hungry you are and how much you want this job. Re-reach out to EVERYONE who you've spoken to throughout the recruiting process and explain the situation, how excited you are at the potential opportunity, and if they can check in or put in an additional good word for you. Hopefully someone will try to make something happen.
I would not rely on the HR person to be persistent with seeing if there are openings. They are busy with tons of other stuff and likely won't reach out beyond an initial email to management about needed resources.
Sitting around and waiting will accomplish nothing. Make sure people know who you are.
Good luck to you.
how long after your super day did you hear back?
It sounds like you were wait listed especially if you have heard of others being flat out rejected from the offer.
I hope it works out for you, best of luck!
Keep looking elsewhere, but also I would recommend networking with the people you met during the interview and following up with HR, but not being over-bearing. I'd express your interest in the group and let them know you look forward to the opportunity.
Maybe its just my experience, but PwC really is strange regarding their offers. Three stories:
(1) When I interviewed for TS, they gave me an audit position. Obviously I didn't nail the interview or else I would have received the TS position, but I definitely told them I did not want to do audit before they sent it out. Easy decision to reject them, but really thought that it was crap they would offer me audit in the first place, especially after I told them that I would not consider other positions in the firm.
(2) Friend of mine got rejected by PwC Chicago. Then, the recruiters contacted him and praised my friend, and really wanted to find him a job with PwC. So then they set up a re-interview with PwC Chicago. Shortly thereafter, PwC contacted him that plans would change and he would interview for another city instead. A few days later and they said he would have to interview somewhere else and gave him the option between two very small markets. Could go into more details, but PwC was so inconsistent and disorganized in this instance. They kept flip-flopping every way possible.
(3) A friend of mine got rejected, and when he called the person from the office to follow-up, the main reason was because his GPA was too high. It was a 3.98, not even a 4.0! Dude, I was pretty mad to hear PwC rejected him and told him it was for the high GPA. Either the decision makers were complete idiots, or the person who said that was a complete liar.
Those were some bad stories, but everyone's experiences differ obviously and I know people there who are and have got some pretty good experience there.
