Anyone here in commercial banking at BofA!? I have an interview next week and have a few questions.

I interviewed with Manulife last Wednesday. It went really well. The HM was vocal about my thoughts, structure and case work I had put through. However, I’m now getting worried that they didn’t come back yet. Usually, I think if HM really likes you, they get back within 1-2 days. Shall I consider this as a gone opportunity? I hate to follow-up honestly, but if it’s suggested, I will.

How on earth do you get your application out of “in review” hell with Goldman Sachs ? Sooo many applications for VP roles in the “application is in review” stage and they don’t seem to move. Any GS recruiters who I can message privately and maybe you can give me the recruiters email for a few roles I’m most interested in so I can reach out proactively so I can maybe get at least an interview or two?

I have an interview next week for an opportunity as Controller in Stuttgart (Germany). I expect them to ask me what i expect in terms of compensation and I’m kind of struggling here.

I would position myself around the 90s but I don’t know whether i should ask the highest or if im already too high with my request.
