How soon is too soon to send a follow up email after the first interview round? I had a brief conversation with a company about a week ago and I haven’t heard anything back yet. Will I look bad or desperate if I follow up?

What kind of questions does a role alignment interview for a Finance+Ops role at tech company entail ? Is it just a fancy name for evaluating prior experience and the behavioral stuff ? Or is there some framework being tested?

Do you think after a certain period of time you ace every interview regardless of the company? Or is there always a chance you’ll blow it regardless of how much experience you have? Trying to convince myself that eventually this process will get easier…

Has anyone interviewed & received an offer from New York Life Insurance for a Corporate Vice President Data Science Role? I am trying to figure out salary range. I searched on Glassdoor and found that the salary range is too wide: 108k to 266K. Let me know if any one has any insight into it.

Hiring director and hr were not truthful in the interview process on job duties, hours, expectations. I accepted the offer to what I thought would be a great career with a lot of learning/experience and what I got was unreasonable work loads, deadlines and need to work global hours. What can I do?

I just received a first round interview for at GS for a role that seems like internal strategic finance (job description says stuff like ad hoc analysis, construct competitor analysis, etc.) however I applied for and even got a referral for an FO (non-IB) role. I’m kinda bummed they didn’t take me for the latter role but if I get the above role, is internally transferring easy? Is the role even good?

For context, I’m trying to get IB/Strategy consulting roles, with LT a goal being on buyside.

I just read an article saying that banking interviews are impossible unless you "sound like" a banker. To be honest, I think that’s pretty fair. It is tough to get hired unless you actually sound like you know everything, regardless of whether you do or not. I wonder if people are pulling off some way of sounding like they know everything even if they don't. I might be the opposite. Any ideas here?

When it comes to interviewing, what is more important to showcase: your personality or specific contributions and impacts you’ve had on your current company? I can be pretty quiet and awkward and I’m worried my accomplishments won’t be enough to land a job somewhere else.

I just heard back from a job that I interviewed for a month ago saying they went with another applicant. Not even sure what the point is in getting back to me, but got me curious about how long it’s been for other people before you’ve heard back from a company.

So I think I’m ready to find a new job. I’ve been at my current company since I got out of school and I just feel like it’s time for a change. I was wondering what the best method is when it comes to job hunting. Should I be going through the interview process one company at a time, or just go crazy with applications and try and get as many interviews set up as I can?

I have been with this employer for almost 3 years and I do not see my position nor my salary changing. In need of advice when looking for jobs and how I can secure an interview.
