Interviews

Had a zoom interview and was on video right on time. There’s the recruiter, chomping chips, looking hit, oblivious I was there. Baby screaming in background, dog barking. The realness was refreshing.

Best way to prepare for HF interview?

advice on switching from Public accounting at a Big four to an industry staff accountant position after only a little more than a year ? I have no desire to become some kind of CFO or CAO. I’ve been interviewing for positions at smaller public accounting firms as well as staff accountant roles in industry. I just want my life back before busy season….

Is it common to request either a time guarantee (2-year contract for instance) or a greater than normal amount of severance when interviewing for roles in times like this?

My current role is pretty secure, so besides increased comp, I’d want to make sure any new role would include some sort of safety net.

I recently started applying to jobs outside of PA and I’m hoping to get out in late March/April. Any tips on staying motivated? I don’t want my work to suffer but I’m having such a hard time staying focused and motivated. (For reference I’m a Staff 2 with 2 busy seasons and have pre-PA work experience... PA life ain’t for me 🙄)

Hi Fishes,
I have 1.5 YoE. It's been 5 months in ICICI bank as an analyst in Data science grp. My skill sets include SQL, python and ML. Prior to ICICI I was in a Supply Chain start up which was not fully analytics profile. Now, my CTC is 4.55 LPA but during interview the HR agreed on 5.5 lpa. So my question is am I under paid?

BIWS or WSO interview guides for someone who is looking to lateral?

I am applying for some in-house roles and wanted to hear from other brand strategists who have made the transition. Thinking about job requirements like “experience developing a marketing plan” which a strategist would understand but not have experience developing...I’m wondering how you spoke about your background and skill set in an interview process to overcome a lack of in-house experience? Thanks for any thoughts

I have 2nd round (final?) with EY for Product Manager position. I am being told that’s it’s the same as first round but at different level (first was with Manager, this is with Senior Manager). Anyone has any experience on how different these rounds are and what should I do differently to prepare? It’s a behavioral interview.

Fish bowling in between interviews

Deloitte question: I was told today that i am “in”and that the business case is being made for my hire but the P&L owner of the business has approved me already, business case and subsequent conversations are more networking and less interview screening. When will I get a verbal offer? what’s the timeline now? a month? 3 months? P/MD role.

Any Business Analyst courses/skills that I should be picking up in order to be more job market compliant?
Currently working as a 4 year experienced BA having basic skills and looking for a change in job. Not getting enough calls for interviews.

Hi Fishes,

I had recently interviewed for TIAA for the position of BI analyst but failed to crack the SQL round of interview due to my nervousness. I am really pressed and demotivated after my rejection.I made sure to be prepared in SQL and I wish to be interviewed in TIAA again. Will they consider my profile again?

How expensive is Bangalore. I've got a package of 11 LPA (fixed + variable) and my friends have scared me to death that i won't be saving a single paisa over there. I am 23 and my career is barely 2 years old and I'm willing to live in a PG as well.

I think with this 11 LPA CTC i would be getting somewhere around 68K minimum (I've just estimated and this is minimum amount i think i l'll get).

Can I survive in Bangalore.
Also does everyone earn 50+ LPA in Bangalore? I'm from the middle class.

What are some of y’all’s fave sales books or podcasts?

So I finally need to actually take my health seriously and lose 15-20 lbs. i work out 6 days a week and mix lifting with running, spin, HIIT. My eating habits aren’t great and I drink a lot. Aside from cutting back drinking and drinking more water, how do I get back on track? I’m always hungry and grab carbs/snacks

I have many DAT files that need to be converted to excel workbooks by using delimited. Does anyone know how to automate that process rather than having me convert each DAT file manually? Trying to save some time here as a newbie 😢

Do MBBs read cover letters? I assume they do if they ask for it despite some opinions

Can someone give a review of Services business analyst post in Gartner ggn office. What is the expected CTC range. Thanks

Here's my confession: I've never finished reading a physical book in my life. I listen to plenty of audiobooks, and I can read in general, but it's just difficult to focus anything longer than a few pages. I'm fortunate to live at a time when I can take a picture of a few pages and have them read aloud to me, but I would love to get to a place where I can read anything on my own regardless of length, because I feel like that improvement may have a waterfall effect on other areas of my life.

Have I just had bad luck with the companies I've been at or is it like this everywhere? I've had 7 managers in my 4 years of experience, 3 in one year at my first position (which is why I left) and now 4 at the 2nd company in 3 years. There has been a mix of people leaving and people getting fired but the instability feels extreme.

young professionals in DC, where do you guys go out?

Tech family, wondering how agencies deal with the offshore offices at cost efficient countries where they also have local clients, how do they manage the demand for local work vs work from their offices at other countries when it comes to teams. Do they have separated P&L for the local vs offshore work? teams are shared across both businesses or are dedicated teams to each one?
