Consulting Manager Discussions
Interviews

I was recently let go by a Big 4 and I interviewed at Mid-size. I didn’t tell them I was let go and was hired and now working here. Recently realized, the partner I work with and my ex-firm practice partners are good friends. Should I communicate to my ex-firm partner not to share this with my current firm partner when they meet??? Or am I thinking it too much?

I'm looking to pivot from consulting into tech. I've gotten lots of interesting from tech companies on the ops side but am much more interested in product management.

Any advice on books or courses to help make the transition? I'm struggling to land PM interviews at companies that aren't tiny startups :(

Should an ad agency be able to thoroughly check my references and ask for my entire employment history (including why I left each job) before agreeing on a salary?

I’ve had 7 interviews, met every stakeholder, was initially approached by one of them, who will be my boss. Plus I’ve had great feedback after every interview.

I was laid off from my previous job because of COVID so don’t have a ton of leverage. But that shouldn’t make me powerless. The process just seems like overkill.

Thoughts?

MD's - what are some good questions you’ve gotten asked during interviews? 🤔

I just realized I’ve never done an interview with a creative director. Anyone have advice / a general idea of how it usually goes? They’ve already seen my book. Would it be a deeper conversation about my work? My life? My process? I want my mommy.

Currently interviewing at OW and want to get a sense of comp ranges for EM and Principal as a basis for salary negotiations. Could anyone share rough base/bonus % ranges for these roles? DM is fine.

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not. However, I am very, very interested in transitioning to this practice. And I reaaally want this job because it’s at my dream firm. How would you recommend preparing for the lateral interview?

Hi Fish 🐠
Just scheduled an interview with Google. It's the first round with the recruiter. It's for a Growth Manager position within App Development Sales. Any tips or advice or what to expect would be greatly appreciated it as this is my first time interviewing within Tech. Thanks 😀

I had my final round interviews few weeks back. Heard from the recruiter today that they would for me to have a virtual coffee with the hiring manager’s manager.
1. Does that mean I went back a step with needing another validation or this would have been a step in the process anyway?
2. If this goes well, then no hiring committee or is it more data point collection for the hiring committee?
3. Anything to be mindful of for the virtual coffee?

Has anyone done a "sql live coding session" for a interview?

Has any job searcher gotten an interview through networking or career posts here? Relatedly, is fishbowl an app paid/sponsored by (big) law firms to monitor how their employees really feel/think? I know it started out in the ad industry...

Interviewed for the 2023 Enterprise Strategy Senior Consultant role at IBM. Went through to the behavioral interview after the case and am waiting to hear back. Any idea how long it usually takes?

Hello, I am trying to prep for my Amazon interview for a BI engineer position. I am trying to come up with SQL and Python questions that the hiring manager could potentially ask me and I was wondering if any advisors or recruiters on Fishbowl could suggest on topic that I need to focus on.

Also, if there is any Amazon employee's or recruiters that I connect and get some advices would be a tremendous help.

Thank you

How are you interviewing for AE roles in this remote setting? Do you think quality of candidates is going down?

I saw a comment on here from someone referencing a book about organisational Psychology and working with different types of personalities, but I can’t find the comment/thread now. Do any of you have recommendations on this topic?

Has anyone here worked through and survived their partner’s porn addiction? I thought we had worked passed it but it’s recently resurfaced. I’m absolutely gutted with no answers at this point. I know it’s an addiction and we’ll have ebbs and flows. But I thought I’d have some reprieve for more than a year. I’m just exhausted from it and the consequences it has on our marriage.

Hi super mamas! I desperately need advice on toddler sleep training! Our daughter was sleep trained when at 7 months and she’s been the best sleeper ever. Now she’s 2.5 YO and starting to not want to sleep until I stays in her room until she falls asleep and she also wakes up 1-2 times at night crying asks for mama and walks out of the bed until I come in and put her down- by sitting next to her bed. If I don’t go in, she would sit on the floor outside of her bed for hours without sleeping!
