Re: Interview waiting process, is the worst.
[B]Update[/B]
I still haven't received nothing yet, so yesterday I decide to take action.
I wrote a brief email in regards to where they are in the process.
I get this email back from the partner today at noon.
"Hi Ev. Happy thanksgiving almost. We are still finalizing numbers and positions, from what I understand, so although frustrating, I am not surprised that you have not heard anything back yet. I am sure [Manager's Name - Who was apart of the interview] will be in touch once everything is wrapped up. Enjoy the long weekend!".
I'm not sure what this mean, so ambiguous.
This is torture. I pretty much felt like it was over, I didn't get it.
I wrote the email in the morning and all day, I got no response until today.
Now my anxiety is going to kill me again.
How do you guys interpret this email?
By the way, the job is in Toronto, Canada.
Re: Interview waiting process, is the worst.
First you should email her back and say the real thanksgiving isn't until November.
But seriously, I would interpret the email as they haven't made a decision. Just be patient dude. This is not a text message from a girl you are trying to have sex with. No need to over analyze it.
Re: Interview waiting process, is the worst.
You look like an idiot fawning over these emails.
Jesus christ, you have a job, they're making a decision, just wait.

[B]Update[/B]
So last week I was contacted by a partner of Enterprise (at KPMG).
Apparently the people that interviewed me thought I was a better fit with Enterprise (dealing with NTR, Reviews, T2's and advisory) since my back ground is in finance. So I had an interview today with the partner, I think it went well. He said he will let me know the decision by mid to late November, as he is going on vacation for 2 weeks so he wanted to meet with me before hand. He mentioned that again to me just before we concluded our interview.
I think we had a good vibe, and he really appreciated me bringing sample work from my current job. Some other positive signs:
- Detailed tour of the office, meeting managers and seniors; as well as the people I'd be directly working with at KPMG Enterprise.
- He mentioned numerous times that I'd be getting paid starting salary, despite of my experience. I said that is fine and even mentioned that I'd even do an "unpaid intership" to work for your firm. He liked that.
- We had a detailed conversation about the starting date. We both agreed that January is suited for both of us.
- The interview went on for an hour, much longer than the 30 minutes I had with the other partner.
- He went into great detail about the actual job. He talked about what type of work I'll be doing and what is expected of me. He told me the do's and don'ts etc.
- He gave me his business card during the interview without me asking about it.
- The interview went well overall; I had answers for all his questions and he liked my questions by saying "That's a good question, I'm glad you asked it."
So, I know I hate waiting (again) but things are looking good for me right?
I mean I doubt a partner would waste his time giving me the tour of the training room, lunch room, introducing me to managers and my direct coworkers.
I'll stay hopeful, and most importantly patient.
Thanks for all of your advice guys.

[QUOTE=DeuceWallaces]That is terrible advice. Very immature.
OP, chill the f[I]u[/I]ck out. Professional hirings can take months. You have no idea what internal processes they must go through before the hiring can be official. Everyone will have a lot of anxiety in your position, but you need to grow up and have some patience.[/QUOTE]
Hiring process when I left the private sector took about 2 months. Chill out...it will be fine either way.
Re: Interview waiting process, is the worst.
So I got my official offer letter today. :D
Very excited to start my new job.
I start January 4th, in the Toronto Office.
Re: Interview waiting process, is the worst.
Congrats man! I figured this thread bump would be an update from you. Are you walking to work? I've always been a bit jealous of people that get to do that.

I'll be probably taking the subway, unless I am going to a clients office.
I am not doing A&A though, I was selected for Advisory role.
So I'll be mostly working from the office, unless I have to visit a client.
Then I'll take my car to the site.
And thanks man, I am excited (and nervous).
KPMG is the fastest growing firm in Canada, they are gaining ground on PWC now in terms of 2nd place.
