I'd pick the one that has the more attractive women working there, 15 percent of people met there significant other at work, 2nd most common way to find a mate. If you going to play in the pool, might as well be the one with sexier people.
P.S. Getting involved with someone at work is a really bad idea, don't take my advise, including this one.Still searching for the corner in a round room. -

No clue. Why I asked.
“Same companies?” You have an opportunity at the one, not all four correct?
Just strikes me as odd
In any event. Good luck. -

Best of luck! Hope you get the one you want. Also, I hate it when I get crickets back from those companies. -

Spoke too soon!
Job #2 (Soc manager) Rejection, their was that I meet all their requirement and 'it was such a close call', but they picked the other candidate (only two of us made it to the final round) due to better cultural fit.
I thanked and told them that I enjoyed the interview process lol
I'm actually happy about it. I really didn't want it, and if I don't get job #1 then I'm happy to stay where I'm at

Consulting Manager is a hell of a position, you'll get sick of it very fast. Even more if the payroll is lower

Wish I have an answer....they were meant to come back to me 2-3 weeks ago....they call every now and then and ask for another detail they need to "prepare" my contract! So - according to them - I should hear very soon....now this could be today or in two weeks time...I'm hoping this week....

Sounds very promising. Hope you get that offer soon. Hopefully, it's just end of year slowness.

Not much at all, it's not a pay increase. Big 4 are known for lower salaries (unless u are a director and above). They paid me on the higher end of the manager range which is good for me. I also negotiated reduced hours, I do have side businesses and other stuff that I do so salary increase wasn't my motivation....not in the short term anyway
