Has anyone interviewed for EY-P Director role before? Recruiter told me there’s a 60-min case (where I get 30-mins to review a deck; 30-mins to structure and answer questions). Was wondering if anyone can give me insights or give me a mock?

Hi - I’m a jr. designer interviewing for a design role within an agency/consulting setting. The interviewer is a design director who recently worked at Huge. I come from a startup/product background and wondering if anyone have any general tips/insight - is it generally expected to prepare a deck to communicate my portfolio or running through my case studies in my site is good enough?

Had a second round interview for a strategist internship three weeks ago and the strategy director said they were “impressed”. Haven’t heard back since then. Is this what getting ghosted feels like?

Is Director to CIO in industry too big of a leap? I have not received a single interview call, have been applying to VP/CIO level roles and thinking I need to reconsider.

Sometimes I question how my boss got into their position. We were hired at the same time and I have more experience in the relevant subject. However, that individual has more total overall experience.

Its in the back of my mind, but my boss used to work with our director and I just have a feeling that played a part in their hiring. if I interviewed my boss I wouldn’t of hired that individual.

it’s annoying me. Anybody else in a similar situation. 

Hey VMWare 🐠: interviewing for a global director role. How’s the company and WLB? Any insight into total comp for a group director level position?

🐟 that interviewed with Alix Partners recently. How long it did it take to get the go forward decision after the initial phone screen with a Director?

So I had this interview round at S& with a very senior director, Now where I really struggled and worry was that there were lot of arguments between us in a approach and I stuck to it to the very end and changed only at the last. Do folks think this was a stress interview or have I literally blown my chances off here..haven’t experienced this in other rounds where interviewers are generally more accommodating and help u solve the case 😊

Anyone have experience with interviewing at Slalom? Recruiter reached out about an Emerge role about a month ago. I said from the beginning that I was open to travel but was not moving. They indicated this wouldn't be a prob. Go through all the interviews, including an interviewer asking what I needed to convince me to come on board. they were just there to close the deal. Phone call today indicated the director did not approve of remote and could I move. I assume this isn't normal?

Alix Partners 🐟 - I have a phone screen with a Director coming up. What kind of questions can I expect? Will it be a typical behavioral interview?

I’m a Sr. P/L interviewing internally for a team leader role and haven’t interviewed in 10+ years. Any advice you can give on good questions to ask and maybe some insight to the kinds of questions I might be asked? I’m pretty nervous and want to put my best foot forward. I’ll be interviewing with my current leader and a director-level leader. TIA for the advice!

What's the likelihood of going from a Sr. Compliance focused role (Director Level) to Counsel at FAANG? I'm interviewing for a role in compliance, but afraid of getting tagged as a non-lawyer for good.

I know there’s probably a better bowl to post this in but just looking for insights anywhere I can get them. So I’m interviewing with a Senior Director of Product at Apple tomorrow and trying to think of a few good questions to ask at the end that are outside of the typical culture and work life questions. Any tips / suggestions on what you’ve asked in your interviews that have been well received?

I have a closing interview with a Managing Director. Any tips on making it a good interview? Seems like it’s going to be more of a coffee chat

If a Senior Manager / Director from a Big 4 wants to jump to MBB or T2 (think OW, Kearney, LEK), what level could they aspire for? Consultant is too many levels down, is Engagement Manager / Project Leader etc possible and if so, recommended? Or is the advice not to jump and stick till Partnership at Big 4? (I am in the midst of an advanced round interview at a MBB and at a T2, but the levels have not been discussed very weirdly in both the cases)

This is such a long shot but does anyone work in HR M&A? Trying to understand comp for corporate roles so I know what to ask for. 6 YOE, position I’m applying for is director-level.

Need advice on a couple offers/ possibilities.

1. Consultant role at BCG
2. Manager role at S&/OW/EYP
3. Business team manager role at salesforce (middle of process)
4. Director F500 (starting interview process now)

Comp and location similar. Im leaning second option because I want the title bump / don’t want to take a step back again.
